One of the nicer aircraft to visit was Wagga Wagga based SOCATA TBM-850 VH-PVM which arrived from the New South Wales town on Tuesday 1 April. As mentioned below, VH-PVM has spent some time at various CQ Airports over the last couple of weeks.

VH-PVM later departed to Stanthorpe.
Also on Tuesday 1 April, Beech V35A Bonanza VH-ILC called into Gladstone from its Bundaberg base.
As can be seen, the Bonanza features retractable landing gear, and its 'signature' V-tail - equipped with a combination elevator-rudder called a 'ruddervator'.

Wyndham Aviation of Agnes Water Cessna 172 VH-WTQ was also spotted.
And later on Tuesday, DND Aviation Raytheon G36 VH-JKZ was spotted again at Gladstone. After a short time on the ground, it returned to Redcliffe.
On Wednesday 2 April, amateur-built Cavalier SA 102.5 registered VH-SLZ, which is seemingly based on the Sunshine Coast, was spotted departing to the South.
Also locally-based Ultralight aircraft operated by Gladstone Flying Training and Air Charter - Jabiru J-230 24-7384 - was spotted returning to the field after a sortie on Wednesday.
Finally, Cessna 206 VH-XHZ - which is operated by Horizon Air - made a late afternoon visit into the industrial city from its Mackay base.
After a brief visit, the beautifully presented Stationair made lovely late-afternoon departure back to the sugar city.
