Exercise Wallaby 2025 - A Pair of Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Lockheed C-130H Hercules Transport Aircraft '731' & '733' Also Arrive at Rockhampton Airport

Also on Friday 10 October, a pair of Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Lockheed C-130H Hercules transport aircraft were also spotted calling into Rockhampton Airport.  They were identified as '731' and '733' and flew together across from RAAF Base Pearce in Western Australia as SAF9590 and SAF9573 respectively.

Both Hercs have come to Rockhampton Airport from the West in support of the of RSAF General Dynamics (Lockheed Martin) F-16C/D Block 52 Version Fighting Falcon jets which also flew across from RAAF Base Pearce to Rockhampton Airport on Friday 10 October - see Blog post below!

Of interest, the Hercs are two of six C-130H aircraft which are flown by the RSAF's 122 Squadron 'Condors' based at the Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) in Singapore.  The squadron goes by the motto of "Dependable".

A third RSAF C-130H Hercules '730' is also deployed to Rockhampton Airport and completes 2-3 daily sorties as "Rider" flying to the Shoalwater Bay Training Area (SWBTA) and back as the Singapore Armed Force's Exercise Wallaby 2025 (XWB25) continues.
