After remaining parked for the day, VH-MMC returned to the Sunshine Coast during the early evening.

Meanwhile, after heading North the previous day - see Blog post below - AirMed Australia Cessna 510 Citation Mustang bizjet VH-SQY was noted calling back into Emerald Airport, also on Thursday 17 October.  It arrived from Cairns and later departed to the Illawarra Regional Airport and then 'home' to Bankstown.

Finally, some light General Aviation (GA) aircraft noted visiting both Barcaldine and Longreach Airports this week have included Burketown-based Piper PA-31-350 VH-MDM which visited Barcy on Monday 14 October and Tuesday 15 October flying between Burketown and Toowoomba.  While at Longreach Airport, Navair Jet Services (Mabeena P/L) Piper PA-31-350 Navajo Cheiftan VH-NWN was noted visiting on Tuesday 15 October as 'WA658' / "Wagga Air 658".  It arrived from Wagga Wagga, Orange and Toowoomba before later departing to Mount Isa.

UPDATE!  VH-NWN returned to Longreach Airport on Friday 18 October while returning 'home' to Wagga Wagga.
