Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk 'Romeo' Helicopter N48-007 (907) Calls into Rockhampton Airport

On Wednesday 3 October, Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk ‘Romeo’ naval combat helicopter N48-007 (Code 907) was spotted visiting Rockhampton Airport.


It arrived from parts unknown to the North as "Tiger 07".




After a short time on the ground, the Seahawk departed to RAAF Base Amberley.






It is believed that N48-007 - seemingly of the RAN's 816 Squadron - called into Hamilton Island Airport on Tuesday 2 October with a Royal Australian Navy ship also sighted in waters in the Whitsundays.

Of interest, also at Hamilton Island Airport, also on Wednesday 3 October, an unidentified Australian Army Boeing CH-47F ‘Foxtrot’ Chinook helicopter was also noted visiting most like from Townsville.

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