On Thursday 19 March, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft A30-002 was spotted climbing out after completing a missed approach at Rockhampton Airport.

A30-002 was flying as "Wedgetail 07" and appeared to fly up to Rocky from RAAF Base Williamtown near Newcastle in New South Wales via a missed approach at the Sunshine Coast. After completing the missed approach at Rockhampton Airport, it returned South and was heard completing more airwork at Coffs Harbour before returning to Williamtown.

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