Evening all,
A couple of interesting days at Rockhampton Airport with 6 Kiowa, 8 Eurocopter Tiger, and 8 Sikorsky Blackhawk helicopters all parked around the airport. I believe that there has been a small ADF exercise in Shoalwater Bay prior to Talisman Sabre so suspect these helicopters have been participating in that during this last week.
Friday 24/6 saw RAAF C-17 A41-209 pop in for about 15 minutes - callsign "Stallion 34".
Saturday 25/6 saw RAAF C-130H A97-009 on the ground for a couple of hours before departing to Darwin as "Trojan 52".
Sunday 26/6 should see another C-17 and 2 C-130s, as well as an Air New Zealand B747-400 pay Rocky a visit, with more transports on Monday.
There are some photos from the past few days on the Blog:
