RAAF Canadair Challenger 604 Bizjet A37-003 Pops into Rockhampton Airport as "Regent 05" - Plus A37-002 Visits After Dark as "Wisdom 14"

Early on Friday 5 July, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 bizjet A37-003 was noted visiting Rockhampton Airport.  It looked to fly in directly from Canberra as "Regent 05".

After a short time on the ground, A37-003 departed Rocky and returned to Canberra again as "Regent 05".

It appears that the Challenger brought Australian Deputy Prime Minister and Federal leader of the National Party of Australia Michael McCormack to town for a series of engagements.

Then, as this post was originally being prepared, after dark also on Friday 5 July, fellow RAAF Challenger 604 bizjet A37-002 also called into Rockhampton Airport, also flying in direct from Canberra but as "Wisdom 14".

Again, after a short time on the ground, A37-002 also departed Rocky and also returned to Canberra again as "Wisdom 14".

It seems to have collected Mr McCormack following his day in and around the beef capital.
