Some Plane Spotting Photos from Mackay Airport on Saturday - incl Qantas Boeing B737-800 VH-XZJ 'Mendoowoorrji'

We've been fortunate to receive some great plane spotting photos from Mackay Airport on Saturday 26 September including another visit by the beautifully coloured Qantas Airways Boeing B737-800 VH-XZJ 'Mendoowoorrji'.







It was noted to be operating the QFA987/988 service from and back to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, also spotted at Mackay Airport also on Saturday 26 September, were Brisbane-based Piper PA-31 Navajo VH-DEQ which visited from Archerfield.


Rockhampton-based Cessna 182P Skylane VH-TUJ was spotted outside the Mackay Aero Club.


Richmond-based Cessna 206H Stationair VH-WXL was spotted nearby to the Eastern maintenance hangars.


Locally-based Robinson R44 VH-FCH was photographed departing Mackay Airport on a local flight.


While Barcaldine-based Robinson R44 II VH-OOQ was also photographed outside the Mackay Aero Club.


Smart little Cirrus SR22 VH-TOL was also photographed.  It had arrived from its Caboolture base the previous day and later departed to Hamilton Island Airport.


And finally, as it does most weekends, the Mackay Tiger Moth Museum's antique De Havilland DH-82A Tiger Moth VH-CYA completed several joyflights around the region.


The Mackay Tiger Moth Museum operates their antique aircraft out of Mackay Airport, in front of their new hangar beside the Mackay Aero Club, on Casey Avenue, Mackay.

20, 30, and 60 minute joyflights and gift vouchers are available  Bookings can be made through Whitsunday Office Machines on 4998 5677.

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