It appears that VH-SIY flew North to Townsville from the Sunny Coast and Brisbane the previous day.

Meanwhile, a much publicised visitor to Blackwater Airport, also on Wednesday 27 May, was LifeFlight (Aeromed) LearJet 45 bizjet VH-VVI "Ambulance 451" which arrived from and later departed back to Brisbane.

Also this week, and on Wednesday 27 May, the stream of light General Aviation (GA) aircraft completing charter flights into various CQ Airports has continued.
