And late in the afternoon, Machjet (Machjet International) Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 bizjet VH-ZIY looked to fly down from Cairns via airwork and missed approaches at Townsville and Gladstone Airports before it then flew into the Sunshine Coast.

A nice slightly smaller corporate turboprop to pop into CQ Airports also on Saturday 5 September was Fly Weel Pilatus PC-12/47E VH-KWZ which departed Bowen Airport for Rockhampton Airport before it then later returned to Bowen.  It had flown into there from its Gold Coast base on Friday 4 September.

At the time of writing, VH-KWZ is due to fly from Bowen Airport to Bundaberg Airport on Sunday 6 September.

Finally, Heli Qld Airbus helicopters EC 130 T2 VH-WJY popped into Rockhampton Airport from Toowoomba-Wellcamp and Monto Airports.  It then departed to the Whitsunday Airport at Shute Harbour.
