Air Charter Coordinators (ACC) / Brescon P/L (Toowoomba) Beech B200 King Air VH-WXB Pops into CQ Airports - Plus More!

On Friday 10 February, new(ish) Skytrans Airlines Dash-8-300 VH-QQL was spotted making what we believe to be its first ever visit into Central Queensland at Proserpine (Whitsunday Coast) Airport.  It flew down to Prosie on Skytrans' scheduled SKP85 service from Cairns.


It later flew back to Cairns as SKP86.

UPDATE!  VH-QQL looked to also complete the SKP85/86 service from Cairns to Proserpine Airport and back on Friday 17 February.

Of interest, VH-QQL was delivered to Skytrans Airlines at Cairns in November 2022, wearing the Canadian registration marking of C-FNCU.  It first flew in British Airways livery as G-NVSB and was then flown by various operators before going to Voyageur Airways on the behalf of the United Nations.  

Meanwhile, also on Friday 10 February, Air Charter Coordinators (ACC) / Brescon P/L (Toowoomba) Beech B200 King Air VH-WXB was noted visiting a couple of Central Queensland Airports during yet another visit to the region.  It flew up from Toowoomba-Wellcamp and Archerfield to the Labona Station Airstrip within Adani Australia's (Bravus Mining & Resources) Carmichael Coal Mine site.  It then continued up to Bowen Aerodrome before then returning to Labona and Wellcamp.

The Queensland Government Airwing (State of Queensland) Raytheon B300 Super King Air VH-SGQ visited Rockhampton Airport from Cairns and Townsville.

Recently registered (to 'Red Rock' near Comet) Cessna 208B Grand Caravan VH-RTC flew from Rockhampton Airport to the Sunshine Coast once again.

UPDATE!  On Saturday 11 February, VH-RTC returned to Rockhampton Airport from the Sunny Coast.

And Hinterland Aviation Cessna 208 Carvan VH-TFS flew into Mackay Airport from Redcliffe where it had been since the start of December 2022 undergoing extensive maintenance including re-painting.

VH-TFS later departed Mackay Airport for Cairns.  It was heard to be flying as 'HND800'.

Finally, also on Friday 10 February, LifeFlight (Aeromed) Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 bizjet VH-OFA "Ambulance 614" flew up from Brisbane to Bundaberg and Mackay Airports before it then continued to Townsville and Cairns.
