Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Beech Super King Airs Complete Aerial Survey Flights Over CQ Following TC Debbie

In the days after severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie had passed through parts of Central Queensland, the response from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) has been swift and substantial.  One element that has been interesting to observe has been the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) which has looked to operate Beech B350 Super King Air aircraft of 38 Squadron from their home base of Townsville in an aerial survey type role.
