VH-TFW is scheduled to depart Bilo early on Thursday 6 November for Rockhampton Airport.

Also at Rocky, Raytheon 390 Premier 1 bizjet N7088S was noted calling in from its Mackay base on Wednesday 5 November and seems to be staying overnight.

One final bizjet movement into CQ on Wednesday 5 November was from the former Singapore Flying College Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-SQY.  It appeared to fly from the Sunshine Coast - where it has been stored for some time before operating a test flight earlier in the week - and landed for a very brief time at Maryborough Airport.

The Singapore Flying College operated five of the Citation Mustangs from its Sunshine Coast Airport base until it was closed by Singapore Airlines in July 2013.
