Captured by local plane spotter 'IAD' performing a missed approach at Rockhampton Airport on Sunday 15 March was Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Airbus A330-203 / KC-30A (MRTT) A39-005.
It was the second time in the last week that the MRTT had performed some airwork at Rocky.
On Sunday, A39-005 departed Amberley Air Base and headed to Rocky before flying further North and reportedly landing at Townsville. From Townsville it performed a missed approach at Cairns and then Hamilton Island (that would have been a sight!) before returning to Amberley.
Thanks to 'IAD' for sending through these great photos!

Hi Mate
ReplyDeleteI see this eventually happened, just not on the Friday I was there.
