Four GoJet / Air Affairs (Australia) Learjet 35A and Learjet 36A Bizjets Arrive into Gladstone Airport

What a spectacular sight during the early evening on Wednesday 10 July after four Learjet bizjets had earlier flown into Gladstone Airport presumably to participate in the joint Military Exercise Talisman Sabre 2019 (TS19).  The four aircraft are all flown by GoJet / Air Affairs (Australia) in a support role for the Australian Defence Force.







Learjet 35A bizjets VH-SLD "Ajax 14", VH-LFA "Ajax 44" and VH-LJJ "Ajax 32" were also joined by Learjet 36A bizjet VH-SLF "Ajax 04".  All four Learjets looked to fly into Gladstone Airport from HMAS Albatross at Nowra where they are based.







At the time of writing, all four Learjets remain parked at Gladstone Airport.  It is reported that they are remaining in town for some days.

Air Affairs (Australia) was established in 1984 with headquarters based at the Albatross Aviation Technology Park at Nowra in New South Wales.  They have been providing target services, fire surveillance and precision engineering support services to the Australian Defence Force (ADF), other military forces and Governments since 1995.


Since October 2015, Air Affairs (Australia) has been providing specific services to the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) under the Jet Air Support Contract which provides Training Support Tasks including Aerial Target Towing and Tactical Flight Missions in various locations across Australia.

Sincere thanks to the local plane spotters who were able to capture and send through these great photos!
