Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Boeing B757-200 NZ7572 Arrives into Rockhampton Airport as "Kiwi 287"

On Thursday 31 July, Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Boeing B757-2K2 NZ7572 was spotted arriving into Rockhampton Airport.

It arrived from RNZAF Base Auckland (Whenuapai) and Townsville and was heard to be flying as 'KIW287'.

At the time of writing, it appears that the RNZAF B757 is staying for at least the night.

UPDATE!  On Friday 1 August, RNZAF B757 NZ7572 "Kiwi 287" departed to Townsville before heading over the RNZAF Base Ohakea and back to RNZAF Base Auckland.

Of interest, both the B757-200 - as well as their new C-130J Hercules transport aircraft - are flown by the RNZAF’s No. 40 Squadron based at RNZAF Base Auckland at Whenuapai.
