Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Lockheed C-130H Hercules NZ7004 Back at Rockhampton Airport

On Wednesday 10 July, Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Lockheed C-130H Hercules NZ7004 visited Rockhampton Airport once again, this time arriving from New Zealand as "Kiwi 062".

The Herc taxied in and parked on the Northern Military Hardstand on the Rockhampton Airport parking apron.

As shown, it was parked near to the broken down Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Boeing B757-2K2 NZ7572 which reported suffered a hydraulic failure and leak earlier in the week.

And the run of bad luck for the RNZAF aircraft has possibly continued with the Herc NZ7004 remaining parked at Rockhampton Airport for the night, with it observed completing engines runs during parts of the afternoon.

UPDATE!  On Thursday 11 July, the RNZAF C-130 Herc NZ7004 departed Rockhampton Airport bound for New Zealand again as "Kiwi 062".  The RNZAF Boeing B757-200 remains parked.
