It was a most welcome visitor to the skies over the beef capital especially on the weekend!

A30-001 flew up from the South, and after performing the approach, departed back to the South.  It was heard using the radio callsign on "Mitchell 07".

Of interest, it was the first Wedgetail to be using the "Mitchell" callsign to be noted conducting airwork at Rocky.
