Pacific Air Express Australia Boeing B757-200F Freighter VH-PQA Pops into Rockhampton Airport

A nice surprise visitor to Rockhampton Airport on Thursday 31 January with the Brisbane-based Pacific Air Express Australia Boeing B757-225(PCF) Freighter VH-PQA touching down on what appeared to be a training flight.

VH-PQA was heard to be flying as 'PCF22' / "Pacific 22" and came up from Brisbane.

After parking on Gate 6 on the Southern end of the Rockhampton Airport apron, the crew completed some re-programming and soon after it departed back to Brisbane but as 'PCF23' / "Pacific 23".

VH-PQA was delivered to Pacific Air Express Australia at their Brisbane base in November last year and previously visited Rockhampton and Mackay Airports in December also on a training flight - see Blog post HERE.

Sincere thanks to local plane spotters 'IAD' and Kayanne H for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos and video!
