RAAF Boeing B737-7DF(BBJ) A36-001 Spotted at Rockhampton Airport Returning South on Training Flight

After heading North the previous day and as expected, on Wednesday 23 October, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7DF(BBJ) A36-001 called into Rockhampton Airport while heading back to Canberra on what appears to be a training flight.

The RAAF BBJ started the day at Townsville and firstly completed airwork at Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport before it headed to Rocky.  After completing a missed approach, A36-001 landed and parked at Rockhampton Airport for a short period of time.

A36-001 then departed Rockhampton Airport for the Gold Coast before it then returned to Canberra.

As mentioned, A36-001 flew North on Tuesday 22 October and completed airwork at Bundaberg and Hamilton Island Airports before ending the day at Townsville.  As it did on its way North, A36-001 was using the radio callsign of "Envoy 61" again on its trip South.
