Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail A30-005 Completes Missed Approach at Rockhampton Airport

On Monday 19 October, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft A30-005 was photographed as it completed a missed approach at Rockhampton Airport.

It was flying as "Wedgetail 03" and came up from RAAF Base Williamtown to Rocky via a missed approach at the Sunshine Coast.  After the airwork at Rockhampton Airport, A30-005 returned to Williamtown via a missed approach at RAAF Base Amberley.

Of interest, A30-005, which is of the RAAF's Number 2 Squadron, wears new nose art commemorating the upcoming 50th anniversary of the loss of ''Magpie 91'' - a 2 Squadron RAAF Canberra Bomber in Vietnam on 3/11/1970.

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