It appears that the Globemaster earlier departed from RAAF Base Amberley and returned there after completing the airwork at Rocky.

About the same time, also on Monday 14 September, fellow RAAF C-17A Globemaster III A41-206 as "Stallion 56" flew out from Amberley to complete airwork with RAAF Airbus A330-203 / KC-30A Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) A39-001 as "Dragon 16".  The Globemaster eventually returned to Amberley, while the KC-30 continued to Townsville.
