And Three Visiting Bizjets Depart Hamilton Island Airport - Citations VH-FCS & VH-MMC and Gulfstream VI N720LF

Also up at Hamilton Island Airport on Monday 1 October, the three visiting Australian-based corporate bizjets were all noted leaving and heading there separate ways after all arriving late last week.

Australian Corporate Jet Centres / Fox Aviation Citation I/SP bizjet VH-FCS departed to the Ballina/Byron Gateway Airport in northern New South Wales and the Melbourne (Essendon).

It had arrived from Melbourne (Moorabbin) via Essendon on Thursday 27 September.

Mackellar Mining Equipment / Flight Options (Australia) Cessna 560 Citation Ultra bizjet VH-MMC departed to the Sunshine Coast.

It too arrived on Thursday 27 September and arrived from the Sunny Coast.

And American-registered but Australian-based Gulfstream Aerospace G-VI (G650ER) bizjet N720LF returned down to Sydney.

It had arrived from there very late also on Thursday 27 September.

Meanwhile, as well as the corporate bizjets to visit Hamo, there have been some light General Aviation (GA) aircraft - and a helicopter - to be noted calling into Hamilton Island Airport over the last few days.

As reported below, Corporate Aviation Bell 429 Global Ranger helicopter VH-EQP departed Hamo also on Monday 1 October after arriving last Wednesday 26 September.

Royal Victorian Aero Club Piper PA-28-181 VH-MRX was noted arriving from Innisfail on Sunday 30 September and departed to Emu Park on Monday 1 October.  It appears to be on a tour through Central and Northern Australia and could now be heading home to its Melbourne (Moorabbin) base in Victoria.

Hawker Beechcraft G58 Baron VH-EZD was noted arriving into Hamilton Island Airport from its Monto base also on Friday 28 September.  It returned there also on Monday 1 October.

Finally, it appears that Brisbane-based Cessna 525A CitationJet2 bizjet VH-MOR is still parked at Hamo after arriving there from Archerfield via Rockhamption Airport last Monday 24 September.
