Commercial traffic has again been the usual QantasLink (Cobham Aviation) Boeing B717-200 jets including VH-NXH which was spotted on Monday 7 April.
QantasLink again operated various Dash-8-Q300 and Dash-8-Q400 turbo-props including VH-TQY which is one of the few Q300s to wear Qantas and QantasLink’s new colour scheme.
Virgin Australia Regional Airlines (VARA) ATR 72-500 VH-FVL was captured by Jamie and Tash on Wednesday 9 April.
On the lighter side of aircraft to pop into Gladstone Airport over the last week, most action occurred last Sunday 6 April where 1961-build Piper PA-24-250 VH-MCD popped in for a visit. VH-MCD still has a sizeable metal plate on the port-side of the fuselage.
Rockhampton-based Diamond DA 20-A1 Katana VH-CMF was also spotted.
Along with fellow Rocky-local Cessna 150 VH-IOJ.
Locally-based Mooney M20F VH-WBH was captured departing for parts unknown.
Sunshine Coast-based Piper PA-24-260 VH-PKZ was also captured passing through from Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast.
On Monday 7 April, Rockhampton-based Atlass Aviation Vulcanair (Partenavia) P.68C VH-CFT was captured conducting a missed approach onto Runway 10 at Gladstone Airport. It had performed a practice ILS approach before performing the missed approach.
VH-CFT has been the second aircraft in recent weeks spotted conducting a training flight using the recently installed Instrument Landing System (ILS) at Gladstone.
Also spotted at Gladstone on Monday was Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Hawker Beechcraft B200 King Air VH-FDA which arrived from Munduberra and departed to Maryborough also on Monday 7 April.
Finally, Sunshine Coast-based Cessna 210 VH-UCT called into Gladstone from Emerald on Wednesday 9 April, and is seen departing to Rockhampton.
As shown, despite it being a quiet week at Gladstone, there was still plenty of great action to be seen! Sincere thanks to Jamie and Tash for sending these great images through!
