It looked to arrive from the Gold Coast before it then later departed to Townsville.

Also on Friday 29 April, Bowenville (near Toowoomba) based Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1+ bizjet VH-JSZ was noted passing through Emerald Airport while flying from Melbourne (Essendon) to Archerfield.

And Avcair (Avgunn) LearJet 60 bizjet VH-ILJ looked to visit Charters Towers Aerodrome while on a flight out of and back to Brisbane.

Meanwhile, also on Friday 29 April, Townsville Airlines Beech 1900D VH-RUE was noted visiting a couple of Central Queensland Airports while on a busy day of flying - possibly for the Queensland Police Service (Airwing).  It flew down from Cairns to Rockhampton Airport it then departed to Brisbane.  VH-RUE then flew up to Mackay Airport before it then returned to Cairns.

Finally, also on Friday 29 April, Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-LZK looked to arrive into Rockhampton Airport from Cairns as 'HND467' to 'rescue' fellow Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-MRZ which appears to have suffered mechanical problems while currently based at Rockhampton Airport.

After a short time, VH-LZK then departed Rockhampton Airport for the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site as 'HND342'.

Later, VH-MRZ departed to Cairns as 'HND467'.

Then later, fellow Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-NDC - which has also been operating the airlines' Fly-in Fly-out (FIFO) flights from Rockhampton Airport - departed to Labona as HND320, but then looked to fly to Townsville and Cairns as HND221/710.

It appears that yet another Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Caravan VH-TFQ 'swapped' with VH-NDC at Labona, with it arriving from Townsville as HND240 before then departing to Rockhampton Airport as HND321.
