After some time on the ground, A40-041 departed Rocky for the Oakey Army Aviation Centre and was heard to have changed its radio callsign to "Saxon 81".
Of interest, "Saxon" is the radio callsign of the School of Army Aviation at Oakey.
Meanwhile, over the last couple of days, a pair of other Australian Army MRH-90 helicopters have been noted completing airwork around Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) on flights out of and back to Townsville. On Tuesday 12 February, A40-036 as "Destrier 129", then on Wednesday 13 February, A40-011 as "Warhorse 240", were both noted completing this airwork.
Finally, Australian Army MRH-90 and CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook Helicopters, as well as Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III and Alenia C-27J Spartan aircraft, have delivered approximately 28,800 litres of aviation fuel and approximately 8.7 tonnes of livestock feed to flood-affected communities in North Queensland.
