Military Exercise Talisman Sabre 2011 - Qantas Begins the Outbound Charters Movements From Rockhampton Airport

Local spotters were treated to two visits on Thursday 28 July by Qantas Boeing B767-338(ER) VH-OGE, which was believed to be operating outbound troop charters.


The heavy jet arrived in the early morning direct from Sydney as QF6114, before departing as QF1350 to Darwin.


Later in the afternoon, VH-OGE returned to Rockhampton from Darwin as QF6124, before departing as QF1351 to Adelaide.


It is believed that there will be another Qantas operated troop charter, with a World Airways McDonnell Douglas MD-11 to return to Rockhampton soon to transport our American visitors back home.
