After heading North the previous day - see Blog post below - Gulf Coast Aviation Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-KXM called into Rockhampton Airport again, this time heading South from Normanton. However, after taking on fuel, VH-KXM was captured departing back to Normanton.
As the sun went down, Execujet Australia Canadair CL600-2B16 (CL-604) Challenger 604 bizjet VH-VRE touched down at Rockhampton from Perth and stayed the night.
Local plane spotter 'IAD' captured VH-VRE resting on the Northern end of the Rocky Airport apron early on Monday 4 May.
I presume that VH-KXM and VH-VRE brought in passengers to attend "Beef Week" - Beef Australia 2015 - which will be held from this week at Rockhampton to celebrate all facets of the Australian beef industry.
I also presume that the following light General Aviation (GA) movements into Rocky on Sunday 3 May are also bringing people to town to attend Beef Week.
Orange-based Cessna 182 VH-WOZ was believed to have called in from Moree, while fellow Cessna 182 VH-JLM, which is based at Hughenden, was believed to have also called in during the afternoon.
Cessna 310N VH-KOM was also spotted on the ground early on Monday after calling in from Glen Innes during the weekend.
A couple of Super King Airs were also noted calling into Rockhampton on Sunday 3 May with Gold Coast-based Hawker Beechcraft B300 VH-OXF and Coastwings / Sutherland Aviation Raytheon B300 VH-WXC both believed to have come and gone.
Finally, some other lighties to be noted passing through Rockhampton on Sunday 3 May included Skydive Oz Cessna 182 VH-OZP returning from a weekend of skydiving at Emu Park, locally-based Atlass Aviation Vulcanair (Partenavia) P.68C VH-CFT flew to Dalby and back, while finally, Hawker Beechcraft G58 Baron VH-EZD called in briefly from Hamilton Island before departing to Monto.
