Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail A30-006 "Mitchel 15" Spotted Completing a Missed Approach at Rockhampton Airport

On Thursday 9 March, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft A30-006 was spotted completing a missed approach into Rockhampton Airport.

It looked to fly up from RAAF Base Williamtown as "Mitchel 15" to Rocky where it completed the airwork.  It then flew off the Central Queensland coast and operated with another aircraft whose identity remains a mystery!

Sincere thanks to local plane spotters Scott H and John L for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
