Another Three Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopters - A40-007, A40-039, A40-036 - Call into Rockhampton and Mackay Airports - Plus More!

On Wednesday 19 April, another three three Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopters were spotted and noted calling into a couple of Central Queensland Airports.  They were identified as A40-007 and A40-039 which both called into Rockhampton Airport, and A40-036 which popped into Mackay Airport. 


A40-007 as "Bushman 81" arrived into Rockhampton Airport from the Oakey Army Aviation Centre before it then departed to Townsville.  In the afternoon, A40-039 as "Destrier 103" also arrived into Rockhampton Airport (as shown above) from Oakey then also departing to Townsville. 

Around the same time, A40-036 as "Pegasus 35" also flew up from Oakey to Mackay Airport before it too then departed to Townsville. 

Meanwhile, also on Wednesday 19 April, Australian Army marked (Helicorp) Leonardo S.P.A. Helicopters (Agusta) AW139 helicopter VH-YBG was flying as "Warhorse 234" and flew down from Townsville to Mackay Airport before it then returned to Townsville.

While as mentioned below, on Tuesday 4 April, fellow Army (Helicorp) AW139 helicopter VH-YBF as "Warhorse 239" landed at Emerald Airport from Townsville before it then departed to Oakey, Tamworth and Bankstown.  Perhaps end of lease???
