To update Mick's post - the MD11 hasn't gone yet - as at 9.30pm it was still parked on the apron all closed up for the night. On another note though Mick, you should have come and said Gday to us spotters - we park and watch the action from right next door to the RFDS hangar at Rocky!
Other movements at Rocky today included...
As mentioned... World Airways MD-11(ER) N277WA arrived as WOA8511 from Hickam.
US Navy C-40A (B737-7AF) - which is a Combi model - with serial 166694 (tail code 694) of the VR-59 Unit - it used Callsign "Convoy 7922" and departed North.
Australian Army Sikorsky Blackhawk A25-105 departed to the North (there are also 2 Blackhawks parked on the ground at Rocky too).
Australian Army Eurocopter Tiger A38-015 did a local flight with callsign "Marline 91" - made a very spectacular pitch and landing!
Late this evening 2 RAAF C-130 Hercs popped in - C-130H A97-009 was in again as "Trojan 08", while C-130J A97-441 was in as "Mambo 33". Both departed to the North.
There is a Talisman Sabre open day this Saturday as well...
As always, there are some pics on the CQ Plane Spotting Blog -
