It had arrived from Gladstone Airport the previous day.

Meanwhile, spotted departing Rockhampton Airport, also on Thursday 15 October, was Hevilift Australia (Fixed Wing Division) ATR 72-500 VH-FVM.

It departed to Brisbane as HT706 after arriving from Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) and Gladstone Airports on Tuesday 13 October.

I suspect it was flying in support of VH-SGY.

While another charter flight visiting Rockhampton Airport, also on Thursday 15 October, was Regional Express (REX) SAAB 340B VH-ZRM.  It arrived from and later departed back to Brisbane flying on behalf of Pel-Air as PFY9880/9331.

Finally, a couple of light General Aviation (GA) visitors noted departing Rockhampton Airport, also on Thursday 15 October, included Raytheon A36 Bonanza VH-YGM which departed to Orange.  While Rockwell Commander 114 VH-WMM departed to Agnes Water.
