Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Pilatus PC-12/45 VH-NQH (ex VH-FDC) Pops into Rockhampton Airport on the Weekend

Recently re-registered Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Pilatus PC-12/45 VH-NQH called into Rockhampton Airport on Saturday 6 August from Charleville and Barcaldine.

The PC-12 was re-registered from VH-FDC in early May this year but still looks to be maintaining its radio callsign of "FlyFoc 426".  After a short time on the ground, VH-NQH returned to its Charleville base.

Meanwhile, former Mackay-based Piper PA-31 Navajo VH-DER popped into Rockhampton Airport on Thursday 4 August from its (now) Toowoomba base.  It then departed to Bowen Airport before returning to Rocky and then Toowoomba later in the evening.

VH-DER looks to be operated by the same group that operates fellow Piper PA-31-350 VH-TTX which has been operating the same rotation over the last couple of weeks and again operated into Bowen Airport from Toowoomba via Rockhampton on Monday 8 August.
