It looked to make possibly an unexpected arrival from Sydney and then departed to Mount Isa.
While McDermott Aviation Group / Machjet International Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 bizjet VH-PIY "Machflight 06" visited Moranbah Airport from the Sunshine Coast and Brisbane.
And Mitchell Water Australia Cessna 525 Citation M2 bizjet VH-WMY flew up from Melbourne (Moorabbin) and Melbourne (Essendon) to Miles Airport and then Mackay Airport before returning to Essendon and Moorabbin.
Meanwhile, also on Monday 24 November, the resident Canadian-based Conair Aerial Firefighting Dash-8-Q400MR C-FFQE departed Bundaberg Airport for good following its latest deployment to Queensland where it was contracted to be the State's own heavy water bomber for the recently completed bushfire season.
It looked to fly down as "Bomber 141" to Melbourne (Avalon) Airport in Victoria. It is to be reportedly based at Avalon Airport now for the Victorian bushfire season which coincides with the Queensland wet season. It will take up a new radio callsign of "Bomber 390".
Of interest, fellow Conair Aerial Firefighting Dash-8-Q400MR C-FFQF as "Fireguard 391" arrived into Brisbane and then Avalon after ferrying all the way over from Abbotsford in Canada. It looks to be joining C-FFQE at Avalon for the Victorian bushfire season as "Bomber 391".
And before dawn, Microflite Pilatus PC-12/47E VH-8MF also departed Bundaberg Airport but for Melbourne (Moorabbin). It has been operating the area as "Firescan 399".
