Corporate Air Metro 23 VH-VEK at Gladstone Airport - Plus a Broken Down QantasLink Boeing B717-200 VH-NXH

Local plane spotters Jamie and Tash were on hand to capture some great images as Corporate Air / Vee H Aviation Metro 23 VH-VEK popped into Gladstone Airport on Tuesday 17 March.

Its exact movements are unclear.

Meanwhile, also on Tuesday 17 March, QantasLink (Cobham Aviation) Boeing B717-200 VH-NXH touched down at Gladstone Airport as QJE1712 from Brisbane.  It was due to depart back to Brisbane as QJE1713 but this flight was cancelled due to a technical problem with the aircraft.

As night fell, VH-NXH eventually returned to Brisbane empty as QJE6200.  It has since re-entered service with QantasLink.
