Alliance Fokker F-70 VH-QQX - Plus a Few More - At Gladstone Airport on Thursday

Local plane spotter Anthony S called into Gladstone Airport on Thursday 23 April and captured a few great photos including a photo as Alliance Airlines Fokker F-70 VH-QQX departed to Brisbane after visiting on what looked to be some sort of charter flight.

VH-QQX touched down early in the morning from Brisbane as UTY3396 before departing, as shown, back to Brisbane as UTY3397.

A couple more jets were spotted by Anthony on Thursday 23 April including a pair of QantasLink (Cobham Aviation) Boeing B717-200s - VH-NXM and VH-NXH.

Meanwhile, Virgin Australia Embraer E-190 VH-ZPT also called in operating the evening VOZ1717/1720 service from and back to Brisbane.

Finally, Gladstone Helicopters / Helireef Eurocopter EC135 helicopter VH-ZGZ was spotted returning to Gladstone Airport from the harbour now wearing a Gladstone Marine Pilot Services (GMPS) logo.

Some great photos from Anthony, and we thank him sincerely for sharing them with us!
