Australian Border Force (ABF) Cobham Aviation-operated Dash-8-200 VH-ZZC Spotted at Rockhampton Airport

On Monday 29 June, Surveillance Australia / Australian Border Force (ABF) Cobham Aviation-operated Dash-8-200 VH-ZZC was photographed as it departed on a surveillance sortie out of Rockhampton Airport.  It was heard to be using its usual radio callsign of "Borderforce 33".





As mentioned below, VH-ZZC looked to first arrive into Rockhampton Airport over the weekend and looked to complete a sortie also on Sunday 28 June.

UPDATE!  It appears that VH-ZZC "Borderforce 33" departed Rockhampton Airport on Tuesday 30 June and eventually landed at Cairns.

The Australian Border Force Dash-8 aircraft haven't been seen in Central Queensland for some time so it has been great to see them again operating out of Rockhampton Airport on off-shore sorties.

Sincere thanks local plane spotter Michael M for taking the time to capture and send through this great photo!
