Queensland Police Service (Airwing) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra Bizjet VH-PSU Back in CQ and Spotted at Mackay Airport Friday

Last Friday 6 November I called into Mackay Airport very briefly - see Blog post below for a few other plane spotting photos - and one final notable aircraft I spotted was the Queensland Police Service (Airwing) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra bizjet VH-PSU which looked to be back on 'prisoner transport' duties.

On Friday, VH-PSU was also noted calling into Rockhampton and Bundaberg, as well as Townsville and Cairns, on a day of flying which started and finished in Cairns.

It appears that VH-PSU also operated similar flights on Wednesday 4 November and then again on Monday 9 November. It also operated flights out of Cairns on other days to destinations including Lockhart River, Mount Isa and Mornington Island all in Far North Queensland.

Information suggests that the 'usual' Queensland Police Service (Airwing) aircraft that operates these prisoner transfer flights - Raytheon B1900D VH-PSK - remains parked/hangared at Cairns Airport after completing a flight in mid-October.
