RAAF Boeing B737-7DF(BBJ) A36-001 Spotted at Rockhampton Airport Returning South on Training Flight

After heading North the previous day and as expected, on Wednesday 23 October, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7DF(BBJ) A36-001 called into Rockhampton Airport while heading back to Canberra on what appears to be a training flight.


The RAAF BBJ started the day at Townsville and firstly completed airwork at Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport before it headed to Rocky.  After completing a missed approach, A36-001 landed and parked at Rockhampton Airport for a short period of time.






A36-001 then departed Rockhampton Airport for the Gold Coast before it then returned to Canberra.

As mentioned, A36-001 flew North on Tuesday 22 October and completed airwork at Bundaberg and Hamilton Island Airports before ending the day at Townsville.  As it did on its way North, A36-001 was using the radio callsign of "Envoy 61" again on its trip South.

Sincere thanks to local plane spotter 'IAD' for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
