Kefford Corporation Gulfstream G-IV-SP Bizjet N810LP Calls into Longreach Airport - Plus More incl a Cessna 182 Fly-in!

On Sunday 10 September, Kefford Corporation (of Victoria) Gulfstream G-IV-SP bizjet N810LP was photographed shortly after arriving into Longreach Airport from Darwin.

After taking on fuel, N810LP continued to Canberra.

And also noted visiting Longreach Airport on Sunday 10 September was Gulf Coast Aviation Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-KXM.  It arrived from Bankstown and later departed to Vanrook Station near Normanton.

Meanwhile, over the course of Friday 8 September to Monday 11 September, several light General Aviation (GA) aircraft descended on Longreach as the Cessna 182 Association of Australia held their Spring fly-in to Longreach Airport.

Participating aircraft occupied most of the GA Apron at Longreach Airport and members enjoyed tours and a spectacular dinner at the Qantas Founders Museum also at Longreach.

Finally, a couple of recent Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) aircraft have been noted completing airwork at Longreach Airport with Boeing B737-7DF(BBJ) A36-001 heard completing a missed approach as "Envoy 54" on Tuesday 5 September, while this unknown Lockheed C-130J Hercules was spotted on finals at Longreach Airport on Saturday 2 September before it too climbed away after completing a missed approach.

Sincere thanks to local plane spotter Calen H for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
