B-4186 has reportedly been at Wagga Wagga in New South Wales (as pictured above) where the aircraft was re-painted.  It is also believed that this bizjet could be ex-Chinese Air Force.

Meanwhile, a couple of familiar Cessna Citation bizjets have been noted at Emerald Airport over recent days with Mackellar Mining Equipment / Flight Options (Australia) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra VH-MMC calling in from the Sunshine Coast on Tuesday 6 May.  On Thursday 8 May, VH-MMC departed Emerald early destined for Proserpine / Whitsunday Coast Airport.  It was noted flying back to the Sunshine Coast much later in the day.  Also departing Emerald on Thursday 8 May was MacArthur Jet Charter Cessna 550 Citation Bravo VH-SCC, which was noted flying to Bankstown.  Of interest, VH-SCC had arrived at Middlemount from Bankstown on Wednesday 7 May.
