McDermott Aviation Bell 204B Helicopter VH-OCD 'Helitack 416' at Bundaberg Airport

Local plane spotter Micah S popped out briefly to Bundaberg Airport on Tuesday 6 October and captured a couple of photos of McDermott Aviation Bell 204B Helicopter VH-OCD 'Helitack 416'.

It appears that VH-OCD has recently been operating out of Bundy to assist in bushfire fighting efforts in the region.

Meanwhile, FastJet Adventure Flights-operated Aero Vodochody L-39C Albatross VH-NLD continues to be 'stored' at Bundaberg Airport.

VH-NLD arrived at Bundy in early August and to my knowledge has taken to the air since.

The operators of FastJet Adventure Flights suggested to me recently that they are examining the possibility of operating joyflights out of Bundaberg Airport which would certainly be a welcome addition to the tourist market in the region!

Thanks Micah for taking the time to capture and share these great photos!
