Queensland Government Aircraft – And More – Pop Into Bundaberg Airport Tuesday

Making another visit to Central Queensland on Tuesday 29 October were Queensland Government (State of Queensland) Raytheon Hawker 850XP bizjet VH-SGY and Raytheon B300 Super King Air VH-SGQ.

VH-SGY touched down from Townsville, and later departed to Brisbane, while VH-SGQ flew Brisbane-Bundaberg-Brisbane.

Meanwhile, another nice Super King Air has been noted at Bundaberg Airport over Monday 28 October and Tuesday 29 October in the form of Wagners Development Company Hawker Beechcraft B300 Super King Air VH-WJW, which operated two return flights from Toowoomba to Bundaberg over the two days.

Also – and on a personal note – Hervey Bay-based Aero Commute Australia (ACA) Cessna 402A VH-RDZ is one of two aircraft that has been operating weekly flights between Bundaberg and Clermont – my local airport!  Over the last few weeks either VH-RDZ or Piper PA-34-220T VH-MRY – also of Aero Commute – have operated from Bundaberg to Clermont and back on what is believed to be Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flights.

Lastly, local plane spotter Micah S has alerted us to a slight change in Virgin Australia – Virgin Australia Regional Airlines – operations into the Rum City.  It appears that Virgin has changed to flight number on their Bundaberg to Brisbane flights with the flight number changing to VOZ1704.  The VOZ1701 continues to be in the inbound flight to Bundy.
