UPDATE!  On Friday 2 May, A97-464 "Trojan 74" departed Williamson Airfield for RAAF Base Williamtown.

Of interest, A97-464 again as "Trojan 74" looked to also visit the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) at Williamson Airfield also on Tuesday 29 April.  It was noted departing Williamson Airfield to RAAF Base Williamtown.

And at least two Boeing C-17 Globemaster II transport aircraft as "Charger" flew out from RAAF Base Amberley to the South-West and then back.  They appeared to be USAF C-17 05-5151 and RAAF C-17 A41-209.

The RCAF CC-177 (C-17) 177704 flew North from Amberley as "Canforce 3677".
