VH-JMK flew into Gladstone from the Sunshine Coast, and after the crew took time to have some lunch, it departed back there. It also looked as though VH-JMK completed some airwork in the Gladstone Airport circuit area before heading South.
VH-JMK was once housed at Rockhampton Airport. However as we reported a couple of months ago, the current registered operator of the Citation - J. M. Kelly (Project Builders) - which still has stickers adorning it - has recently gone into liquidation. On Thursday 7 July, VH-JMK departed Rocky for the Sunshine Coast, where it has remained ever since (presumably) undergoing maintenance.
We speculated at the time that it could be that one of CQ's locally-based bizjets had gone for good!
Time will tell!
Finally, another smart little visitor which also paid Gladstone Airport a visit from the Sunshine Coast but on Saturday 3 September was Lancair IV-P VH- LWL.
It was interesting to note that VH-LWL completed the 400km flight from the Sunny Coast to Gladstone in just under an hour, while the return flight in the afternoon lasted only 49 minutes! Great performance!
