Exercise Talisman Sabre 2023 - Australian Army CH-47F Chinook A15-301 "Chainsaw 11" & RAAF Alenia C-27J Spartan A34-005 "Valour 02" Also Both Spotted at Rockhampton Airport

Also at Rockhampton Airport, also on Wednesday 26 July, what are becoming a familiar pair of visitors into the region, were photographed visiting Rockhampton Airport once again.

Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook helicopter A15-301 as "Chainsaw 11" popped into Rockhampton Airport yet again, arriving from "the ship" and later returning there.

I assume "the ship" is the Royal Australian Navy ship HMAS Adelaide which seems to still be in waters near Shoalwater Bay.

And Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Alenia C-27J Spartan Transport Aircraft A34-005 as "Valour 02" was photographed visiting Rockhampton Airport once again.

It arrived from RAAF Base Amberley and a bit later departed to Townsville.
