United States Marine Corps (USMC) Lockheed KC-130J Hercules 168074 "Sumo 95" Back at Rockhampton Airport on Monday

Making another visit to Rockhampton Airport - this time on Monday 16 May - was United States Marine Corps (USMC) Lockheed KC-130J Hercules 168074 (Tail Code QD-8074) of the Marine Aerial Refueller Transport Squadron 152 (VMGR-152).

This is the second day in-a-row that it has called into the beef capital - and it is the third visit by a USMC Herc over the past few days.  Like the other flights, 168074 used the radio callsign "Sumo 95" and again arrived from and departed back to Darwin.

It was on the ground at Rockhampton Airport for a very surprisingly short time - you have to be pretty fast to take a photo!
