VH-FKX later departed to Brisbane and Adelaide as UTY4473/4475.

VH-FKX passed through Longreach Airport in mid-July heading North to Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport and ports around Far North Queensland and the Northern Territory on what looked to be a closed tourist charter.

Meanwhile, also visiting Longreach Airport on Monday 1 August was Cairns-based Pilatus PC-12/47E VH-MDH which arrived from Archerfield and Brisbane.  It later departed to Devoncourt.

Another PC-12 in the form of Brisbane-based Pilatus PC-12/47E VH-AAD was also noted visiting Longreach Airport but on Saturday 30 July.  It called in from Archerfield and later departed to Brunette Downs.

And a pair of Redcliffe Aero Club Cessna 172s VH-SPP and VH-YRE also arrived at Longreach Airport on Monday 1 August from Redcliffe and Roma.
