Pacific Air Express Australia Boeing B757-200F Freighter VH-PQA Pops into Rockhampton Airport

On Sunday 24 November, Pacific Air Express Australia Boeing B757-225(PCF) Freighter VH-PQA was noted visiting Rockhampton Airport on what appeared to be a training flight.

VH-PQA arrived into Rocky from Brisbane as 'PCF601' / "Pacific 601" and parked on Gate 6 on the Southern end of the Rockhampton Airport parking apron.  It then returned to Brisbane as 'PCF602' / "Pacific 602".

Of interest, the B757 freighter has spent recent months operating for Qantas Freight and operated predominantly on cross-Australia flights between Melbourne and Perth.  It appears to have returned to its Brisbane base in mid-October and has since only been operating occasional charter flights.

Great to see VH-PQA back in CQ!
