Aeropower McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (MDHC) 369D VH-PLJ Spotted at Rockhampton Airport

On Tuesday 6 June, Aeropower McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company (MDHC) 369D VH-PLJ was spotted parked at Rockhampton Airport.  It had earlier landed at Rocky after completing powerline inspections in the local area.


VH-PLJ was spotted parked next to another nice chopper which has been operating out of Rockhampton Airport in the form of Helistar Aviation (of West Beach, South Australia) Aerospatiale AS.350BA Squirrel helicopter VH-UTN which is also believed to be operating airborne electrical power-line inspection flights in the area.


Of interest, Aeropower Pty Ltd is a Brisbane-based, Australia-wide airborne electrical contractor, which commenced operations in 1991.  Aeropower specialises in a full range of electrical power industry services including patrol, inspection, construction, stringing, washing, performing live-line or de-energised maintenance repairs, and providing technical analysis and reporting on the condition of the client’s assets.
