Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook Helicopter A15-306 "Chainsaw 11" Pops into Rockhampton Airport

On Sunday 9 July, Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook helicopter A15-306 was spotted visiting Rockhampton Airport.  It was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Chainsaw 11" and flew in from and back out to the North-East - possibly to the Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Adelaide which seems to be in waters near the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA).




Of interest, also on Sunday 9 July, fellow Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook helicopter A15-301 looked to depart Townsville and was heard in the area, possibly landing on the HMAS Adelaide as well.

Sincere thanks to local photographer Steve V for allowing us to share these great photos!
