VH-8HP at Mackay Airport late yesterday

As mentioned, it looks like the new PC-12 was only delivered early last month and seems to be based at Mackay Airport where it was photographed above.

UPDATE!  On Thursday 13 July, VH-8HP eventually returned to Mackay Airport from Redcliffe after a busy day of flying.

Meanwhile, also on Wednesday 12 July, Australian Corporate Jet Centres' operated Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy bizjet VH-VLT called into Hamilton Island Airport.  It arrived from Melbourne (Essendon) and Port Lincoln and later departed back to Essendon.
