On
Saturday 14 November, a flight of four Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Pilatus PC-21 aircraft was spotted passing back through Longreach Airport, heading home following a deployment into the Northern Territory.
The four PC-21s were again identified as A54-046, -047, -048 and -049 and were heard to be flying together under the single formation callsign "Reaper". They arrived at Longreach Airport around lunchtime after flying in from RAAF Base Tindal at Katherine in the Northern Territory.
After a short stopover, all four aircraft departed Longreach and continued their journey south, heading home to RAAF Base Williamtown.
The RAAF's No. 4 Squadron, based at RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales, operates the Pilatus PC-21 in the Forward Air Control training role, helping prepare personnel to coordinate aircraft during air-to-ground operations.
These four RAAF PC-21 aircraft originally passed through Longreach Airport on
Sunday 1 November, arriving from Williamtown and heading to Tindal in two formations flying as "Reaper" and "Snoopy".
