On Monday 27 July, General Aviation Maintenance (GAM) / Team Global Express Raytheon 1900D Freighter VH-YJV was noted to have entered service and flew into Rockhampton Airport from Brisbane. It then departed to Mackay Airport and then Townsville.  This is it's first visit into Central Queensland.

After spending the day parked, VH-YJV then flew back down to Mackay Airport and then back down to Brisbane.

Of interest, fellow Raytheon 1900D Freighter VH-YJD did the Brisbane to Biloela/ Thangool and Emerald Airport run. It then returned to Brisbane via Rockhampton Airport.

Of further interest, it appears that VH-YJV flew up from Melbourne (Essendon) to Brisbane via all stops over most of last week.  VH-YJD (UE-210) was previously N210GL of Alpine Air Express in the USA and was flown over to Melbourne (Essendon) where it was placed on the Australian Aircraft Register late last month and into this month.  This is the second 'new' but second-hand Beech 1900D Freight aircraft that GAM are going to take delivery primarily for Queensland operations for Team Global Express.

Meanwhile, also on Monday 27 July, Navair Flight Operations P/L new Pilatus PC-24 bizjet VH-DMS flew up to Mackay from Cessnock.
