A Few Plane Spotting Photos of QantasLink and Virgin Australia Aircraft at Gladstone Airport This Week

Local plane spotters Jamie and Tash have sent through some fantastic plane spotting photos of various the QantasLink (Sunstate Airlines & Cobham Aviation) and Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) aircraft to call into Gladstone Airport over the last week.

On Thursday 17 April, QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 VH-QOM was spotting arriving late in the day - and after a rain shower - as QLK2307 from Rockhampton.

On Friday 18 April, Jamie and Tash captured QantasLink Dash-8-Q400 Next Gen VH-LQJ as it departed to Sydney as QLK2121.

Also, VARA ATR 72-500 VH-FVL was captured as it departed to Brisbane as VOZ1712.

Later on Friday 18 April, and during the afternoon rush, Jamie and Tash captured VARA ATR's VH-FVM and VH-FVH on the ground together.

Along with QantasLink Dash-8-Q400s VH-QOB and VH-QOC.

To top the week of plane spotting off, Jamie and Tash captured QantasLink (Cobham Aviation) Boeing B717-200 VH-NXQ as it departed Gladstone late on Saturday 19 April for Brisbane as QJE1715.

And on Sunday 20 April, QantasLink Dash-8-Q300 VH-TQY was captured as it departed to Rockhampton as QLK2308.

Sincere thanks to Jamie and Tash for sending through these fantastic photos from Gladstone Airport - it certainly shows the variety of commercial traffic to call into the industrial city on most days!
