Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Lockheed C-130J-30 Hercules A97-450 Pops into Rockhampton Airport

On Wednesday 11 July, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Lockheed C-130J-30 Hercules transport aircraft A97-450 was noted arriving into Rockhampton Airport from the South as "Trojan 05".

After a little while on the ground, the Herc was spotted above departing to Melbourne (Tullamarine) Airport.

Of interest, it appears that A97-450 no longer wears the attractive tail art it was spotted with at Rockhampton Airport last year as shown below.

Sincere thanks to local plane spotter Kayanne H who captured the photo at the top of this post from her backyard as the Herc departed!
