Pionair Australia Embraer E190-E2 (ERJ-190-300 STD) VH-IKJ Pops into Rockhampton Airport Twice!

On Thursday 29 December, Pionair Australia Embraer E190-E2 (ERJ-190-300 STD) VH-IKJ was noted completing a pair of training flights that both called into Rockhampton Airport.

Both flights saw the Embraer arrive from and then later depart back to Brisbane.

VH-IKJ flew as "Skyforce 9076/7/8/9" for its flights.

While on the ground at Rockhampton Airport, crew changes occurred as well.

Meanwhile, as mentioned previously, former Pionair Embraer E-190 (ERJ-190-100 LR) VH-SEF has been acquired by Alliance Airlines and was ferried back to Brisbane from Townsville on Wednesday 12 October.  It was then promptly re-registered at the start of November as VH-XFC and was photographed below parked at Brisbane Airport at the end of November. 

VH-XFC (ex VH-SEF) is yet to enter service with Alliance Airlines. 

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