Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopter A40-021 "Warhorse 9" Pops into Rockhampton Airport

On Tuesday 2 July, Australian Army NH Industries MRH-90 Multi-Role Helicopter A40-021 was spotted at Rockhampton Airport.  It had earlier arrived from Townsville and was heard to use the radio callsign of "Warhorse 9".

After taking on fuel, A40-021 departed to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, the Australian Army has issued a 'noise alert' for residents between Townsville and Mackay.  There will be an increased volume of helicopters flying in this area during the month of July with Australian defence Force (ADF) activities possibly seeing up to 15 helicopters operating simultaneously, during the day and night.

The training is a part of the upcoming joint Military Exercise Talisman Sabre 2019 (TS19).
