Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook Helicopters A15-305 & A15-310 Call into Rockhampton Airport

On Thursday 11 July, Australian Army Boeing CH-47F 'Foxtrot' Chinook helicopters A15-305 and A15-310 were photographed by local plane spotter Jason M as they arrived into Rockhampton Airport from the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA).



The two Chinooks, which are from the Army's 5th Aviation Regiment (C Squadron), looked to later depart back to Shoalwater Bay.

They were heard to be flying together and using the radio callsign "Chainsaw".

Finally, it is presumed that one of these Chinooks returned to Rockhampton Airport later on Thursday 11 July, with "Chainsaw 12" calling in for a short time.

Sincere thanks to local photographer Jason M of J.M Photography for allowing us to share his great photos!
