Virgin Australia Embraer E-190 Jet VH-ZPI Spotted at Gladstone Airport Saturday

Local plane spotter Anthony S braved the continuing inclement weather in CQ to pop out to Gladstone Airport on Saturday 6 February to capture some photos of the visiting Virgin Australia Embraer E-190 jet VH-ZPI.

VH-ZPI touched down from Brisbane as VOZ1709, and after a quick turnaround, departed back to the capital as VOZ1712.

It's been great to see Virgin Embraer jets back at Gladstone Airport over the last week with VH-ZPL, VH-ZPR, VH-ZPC and VH-ZPN all noted visiting while operating scheduled service from and back to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, also on Saturday 6 February, Anthony also spotted QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 Next Gen VH-LQD as it too arrived from Brisbane but as QLK2334.

Finally, locally-based Air Charter CQ / Australia by Seaplane De Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver Mk1 Float Plane VH-IDO and Cessna 206 Float Plane VH-FKS were spotted coming and going by Anthony on various flights to nearby Heron Island.

Great to see Anthony back at Gladstone Airport and enjoying some plane spotting!  Thanks mate for allowing us to share your great photos!
