Australian Border Force (ABF) Cobham Aviation-operated Dash-8-200 VH-ZZP "Borderforce 112" Calls into Rockhampton Airport

During the late afternoon on Saturday 7 August, Surveillance Australia / Australian Border Force (ABF) Cobham Aviation-operated Dash-8-200 VH-ZZP was noted arriving into Rockhampton Airport at the completion of a surveillance sortie from Cairns.

After spending the night parked, early on Sunday 8 August, VH-ZZP departed Rockhampton Airport and completed another surveillance sortie where it ultimately landed back at Cairns.

VH-ZZP was again heard to be using its 'usual' radio callsign of "Borderforce 112".

The Australian Border Force Dash-8 aircraft aren't seen in Central Queensland regularly, so it has been great to see them again operating out of Rockhampton Airport on off-shore sorties.
