Ex Talisman Saber 2017 - Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk 'Romeo' Helicopter N48-011(911) Completes Airwork at Rockhampton Airport

During a spectacular day of military helicopter action around Rockhampton in association with joint Military Exercise Talisman Saber 2017 (TS17) on Thursday 20 July, local plane spotters Kayanne H and Daniel B were at the right place at the right time to capture a couple of distant photos as Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk 'Romeo' helicopter N48-011 (Code 911) completed airwork at Rockhampton Airport, including several circuits onto the main Runway 15.

It was heard to use the radio callsign of "Tiger 11" and once it completed the airwork it departed it the South.
