On
Sunday 1 November, four Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Pilatus PC-21 aircraft from No. 4 Squadron at RAAF Base Williamtown in New South Wales were spotted passing through Longreach Airport.
The four PC-21s arrived during the morning in two pairs, with the first two aircraft identified as A54-046 and A54-047 and flying under the formation callsign "Reaper", followed a short time later by another pair A54-048 and A54-049 flying as "Snoopy".
After a short stopover at Longreach Airport, all four aircraft departed and continued flying towards the Northern Territory with the four of the appearing to land at RAAF Base Tindal at Katherine.
The PC-21 aircraft operated by No. 4 Squadron are used in the Forward Air Control role, supporting the training of Australian Defence Force personnel in coordinating air operations and close air support.
The movements came ahead of military training activities scheduled to take place in the Northern Territory during November.
Sincere thanks to the local plane spotters for taking the time to capture and send through these great photos!
