Over the last couple of days, there has been yet more light General Aviation (GA) and general charter aircraft spotted and noted visiting various Central Queensland Airports.

On Wednesday 3 June, Seair Pacific / Istlecote DHC-6-100 Twin Otter VH-ZKF completed its weekly run from the Gold Coast and Brisbane to Rockhampton Airport before flying up to Collinsville Airport and then Townsville.  It then returned South over the same route.  While, as shown below, fellow Seair Cessna 208 Caravan VH-KNQ was spotted at Rockhampton Airport also on Wednesday 3 June after earlier arriving from Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport.

At the time of writing, VH-KNQ is due to make an early morning departure from Rocky on a Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) flight into Wanella Station (near Coppabella) before flying to Maryborough Airport.  Another Seair Cessna 208 Carvan VH-TQW is also due to call into Wanella, also on Thursday 4 June however it is due to arrive from Hervey Bay Airport and depart back there via Maryborough Airport.
