Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Search and Rescue Sikorsky S-76A helicopter VH-LAH was captured arriving into Gladstone Airport on Sunday 28 June by local plane spotters Jamie and Tash.
VH-LAH is owned by Lloyd Helicopters and operated by CHC Helicopters Australia, and is one of a number of choppers used for RAAF Search and Rescue jobs. It uses the radio callsign of "Chopper 7".
VH-LAH was heading South from Townsville where RAAF F/A-18F Super Hornet aircraft from Number 6 Squadron have just concluded Exercise Rhino Strike from RAAF Base Townsville and in the surrounding areas.
I believe that VH-LAH may have earlier called into Mackay Airport before landing at Gladstone.
Sincere thanks to Jamie and Tash for taking the time to capture and send through these awesome photos!
