Most of the aircraft details have been mentioned in other posts on the CQ Plane Spotting Blog, but are certainly worth mentioning again! The photos are ones I took while on holiday in Brisbane this week.
On Tuesday 10 April Cessna 414 VH-SMX, Piper PA-31 VH-PJU, and Beech B200 VH-PWK all visited. Also, QantasLink (Sunstate Airlines) Dash-8-Q400 VH-QOI was noted late in the day heading North - this aircraft wears a special colour scheme that celebrates 40 years of the Tamworth Country Music Festival
On Wednesday 11 April Cessna 182 VH-TOE and Beech 58 Baron VH-KGK were noted. Pionair Australia's Dassault Falcon 50EX VH-FOL popped in for most of the day. In the afternoon, Skytrans Dash-8-300 VH-QQN operated a charter to Gladstone from and back to Brisbane.
Thursday 12 April saw Cessna 414 VH-SMX return, while Queensland Government Raytheon B300 Super King Air VH-SGQ popped in. The highlight of the afternoon however, was the first visit of Virgin Australia (Alliance Airlines) Fokker F-100 VH-XWN, which operated the DJ1715/1718 service from and back to Brisbane. It is believed that a cancellation to the midday ATR service to Gladstone from Brisbane caused Virgin to utilise the larger equipment in the afternoon.
Lastly, on Friday 13 April, a lovely big business jet in the form of Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000, N50XC, arrived into Gladstone. I believe it departed to Brisbane on Saturday.
