More images from Rockhampton Airport on Wednesday 31 July from local plane spotters 'IAD' and Ben O featuring Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-700(BBJ) A36-002 of the VIP 34 Squadron in Canberra which touched down at Rockhampton Airport from Melbourne as "Envoy 99".
One of the other highlights of Wednesday 31 July was the arrival of United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III 05-5146, which touched down at Rockhampton from RAAF Base Richmond in New South Wales as "Reach 6 Echo 1".
The C-17 reportedly brought in equipment for the broken-down USAF C-17 90-0533 which still hasn't moved from its parking position on the Southern end of the Rockhampton Airport apron.
05-5146 was spotted by both 'IAD' and Ben back-tracking Runway 15 and then departing for Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii as "Trek 516".
Some fantastic images from Rockhampton Airport, and we thank 'IAD' and Ben sincerely for sending through their great photos!
