The local Mackay Cutters Rugby League team boarded the Embraer, and VH-JZG then departed to Cairns and Tokua in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as JG74/75, where the Cutters took on the local PNG Hunters team as a part of the Queensland Rugby League's Intrust Super Cup.

With the PNG Hunters taking the win, VH-JZG returned to Mackay late on Saturday 8 March, again flying in from Tokua via Cairns, this time as JG76/77.  VH-JZG then departed Mackay, returning to Brisbane as JG78.

Meanwhile, it is believed that Aerospatiale/Eurocopter AS350.B helicopter P2-THW arrived into Mackay on Thursday 6 March on a South-bound journey from Cairns and Townsville.
