It is expected that 55-030 "Argo 103" will depart Rockhampton Airport late morning on Tuesday 21 February.

As mentioned below, the RoKAF Black Eagles aerobatic display team has travelled to Australia to participate in the biennial Australian International Airshow and Aerospace Defence Exposition slated to take place at Avalon Airport in Geelong from February 28 to March 5.
