2 C-17s arrived amberley today ex TRAVIS-HIK-PAGO more than likely for some VIPS coming soon to a state near you. Expect some more later on to various locations.

Cheers

[Gerard M]

Its both ;)

[Tim Bowrey]

more than likely for some VIPS coming soon

Thats correct, well VIP, apparently we have a very special aircraft coming mid this month only for a short stay, not sure if it will be SYD, BNE or CBR

A report in The Age newspaper today about Hillary Clinton visiting New Zealand then on to CBR and MEL later this month.

Media report also mentions Robert Gates (Defence Sec) travelling to Canberra.

Well why did the C17's go to Amberley if Brisbane is not to be part of the itinerary ?

[Gerard M]

It could be a staging point but it could also be completly unrelated. Either way RCH342 is on the move again today.
