A Pair of Pionair Australia British Aerospace BAe-146-200 VH-SYO and VH-SAZ at Mackay and Rockhampton Airports Respectively

On Wednesday 20 April, two Pionair Australia British Aerospace BAe 146-200 'Whisperjets' were both noted visiting a couple of Central Queensland Airports on separate closed charter flights.

BAe 146-200 VH-SYO visited Mackay Airport, arriving from and then departing back to Brisbane as 'SFZ667/8' / "Skyforce 667/8".

It is possible that this could be a 'new' Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) charter flight with fellow Pionair BAe 146-200 VH-SAZ visiting on the same run last Wednesday 13 April.

While BAe 146-200QC VH-SAZ arrived into Rockhampton Airport from Horn Island via Cairns as 'SFZ643' / "Skyforce 643".

It had earlier flown up to Horn Island from Townsville and appears to be once again, completing private school student charter flights from Far North Queensland as the new school term commences.

At the time of writing, VH-SAZ is staying for the night at Rockhampton Airport.

UPDATE!  On Thursday 21 April, VH-SAZ departed Rockhampton Airport for Horn Island and then Toowoomba-Wellcamp and Brisbane as SFZ9038/646/9054.
