Hevilift Australia (Fixed Wing Division) ATR 42-320 VH-YWH Calls into Rockhampton Airport on Sports Charter Flight

During the afternoon on Thursday 18 April, Hevilift Australia (Fixed Wing Division) ATR 42-320 VH-YWH was photographed arriving into Rockhampton Airport as HT405 from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

It appears that VH-YWH brought the Sunshine Coast Falcons Rugby League team players and support staff to town to take on the Rockhampton-based Central Queensland (CQ) Capras in the Queensland Rugby League (QRL) Intrust Super Cup competition.

With the games complete, VH-YWH returned to the Sunshine Coast and then Brisbane much later on Thursday 18 April as HT406.

Meanwhile, last Saturday 13 April, Alliance Airlines Fokker F-100 VH-UQB operated a sports charter from then Toowoomba-Wellcamp Airport to Emerald Airport and back as UTY3381/3382.

The CQ Capras travelled to Emerald to play a round of Rugby League and VH-UQB brought the Western Mustangs Rugby League Club players and officials to town to play them.

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