Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail A30-003 Completes Missed Approach at Rockhampton Airport

On Tuesday 17 November, Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Boeing B737-7ES / E-7A Wedgetail Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft A30-003 was spotted as it completed a missed approach and low overshoot at Rockhampton Airport.

It appears that the Wedgetail flew up from RAAF Base Williamtown at Newcastle direct to Rockhampton. After completing the airwork, A30-003 departed Rockhampton Airport to RAAF Base Amberley where it completed another missed approach.  It then returned back directly to Williamtown.

Of interest, A30-003 was heard to be using the radio callsign of "Wedgetail 07".
