A Pair of RAAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III Transport Aircraft - A41-212 & A41-208 - Complete Missed Approaches at Rockhampton Airport

On Thursday 13 August, a pair of Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft were both spotted completing missed approaches at Rockhampton Airport.


During the latter part of the morning, C-17 A41-212 as "Stallion 42" departed RAAF Base Amberley and flew up at low level to a position between Bundaberg and Gayndah before climbing and heading to Rocky.  After completing a missed approach at Rockhampton Airport, A41-212 returned to Amberley.


Then, during the afternoon, fellow C-17 A41-208 as "Stallion 43" flew up to Rocky directly from Amberley.  After it completed a missed approach, A41-208 returned back down to Amberley.


Sincere thanks to the local plane spotters for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
