Plane spotters from the Sydney Airport Flyways Facebook Group recently ventured to Hamilton Island for a holiday, and they have been kind enough to share with us some wonderful photos from their time at Hamilton Island Airport. Including on Sunday 18 August when Hamo played host to three lovely bizjet visitors including Brenzil's recently re-registered Dassault Falcon 2000EX bizjet VH-KRW which had earlier arrived from Brisbane.
VH-KRW departed back to Brisbane on Monday 19 August.
MJets Thai Gulfstream G-V bizjet HS-WEH was scheduled to arrive into Hamilton Island Airport from Sydney late on Saturday 17 August. It must not have been able to land and diverted to the Proserpine / Whitsunday Coast Airport, from where it eventually touched down on Hamo on Sunday 18 August. HS-WEH eventually departed back to Sydney later on Sunday.
