United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III Transport Aircraft 98-0056 Arrives into Rockhampton Airport as "Trek 25"

And certainly a nice way to conclude another great day of military plane spotting on Saturday 6 July with the arrival into Rockhampton Airport of United States Air Force (USAF) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft 98-0056.


It arrived direct from Hickam Air Force Base in Honolulu, Hawaii as "Trek 25" and was parked on the Northern Military Hardstand parking area on the Rockhampton Airport apron.



Local photographer Russell P was on hand and captured some quick photos as it appeared that 98-0056 was being prepared for an overnight stay with a departure rumoured to be as early as Sunday 7 July.

Of interest, 98-0056 is flown by The 517th Airlift Squadron (517 AS) which is part of the 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.

Sincere thanks to the Russell P for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
