The colourful little Boeing touched down at Hamo from Brisbane as RON904 and returned to the capital after dark at RON905.

Of interest, VH-YNU was delivered to Nauru Airlines in early 2015 after spending 14 years operating with Air New Zealand as ZK-NGH.

Meanwhile, also on popping into Hamilton Island Airport on Tuesday 14 November was Mitchell Water Cessna 525 Citation M2 bizjet VH-WMY which arrived from Melbourne (Moorabbin).  It later departed to Parkes in New South Wales.

On Monday 13 November, Shortstop Jet Charter Dassault Falcon 900C bizjet VH-OAA departed Hamilton Island Airport for Melbourne (Essendon).  It had arrived into Hamo from there last Thursday 9 November.

Finally, on Saturday 11 November, Marcplan Charter Embraer EMB-135BJ Legacy bizjet VH-VLT was noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from Sydney.  It looked to return to the South on Sunday 12 November.
