A little later in the morning on Monday 7 November, Jet City (Melbourne) Learjet 45 bizjet VH-LJQ called back into Rockhampotn Airport for the second this in a week, again visiting from its Melbourne (Essendon) base.

And finally at Rockhampton Airport on Monday 7 November, the Queensland Police Service (Airwing) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra bizjet VH-PSU visited twice during a busy day of prisoner transfer flights.  The Citation also visited Maryborough, Mackay and Townsville (twice) while starting and finishing its day at Brisbane.

Of interest, VH-PSU also operated prison transfer flights to various CQ Airports also on Friday 4 November.

They join the visiting Dow Corning (USA) Gulfstream Aerospace G-IV-X (G450) bizjet N597DC which arrived into Hamilton Island Airport from Perth on Sunday 6 November - see Blog post below.

Finally, out at Longreach Airport, on Monday 7 November, Gulf Coast Aviation Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-KXM touched down around dawn once again from Bankstown.  It continued to Vanrook Station near Normanton before heading to Cairns.
