RAAF Boeing C-17A Globemaster III A41-206 visits Rockhampton

Reportedly ferrying personnel and freight from RAAF Base Amberley, Royal Australian Air Force Boeing C-17A Globemaster III A41-206 visited Rockhampton not once, but twice on Sunday, May 03, and local planespotter Ash Burggraaff was on hand to capture part of the action.

Completing the first flight between RAAF Base Amberley near Ipswich and the beef capital during the morning, A41-206 returned to Rocky again that afternoon providing planespotters and aviation enthusiasts plenty of opportunity to take photo's while enjoying the autumn sun.

Earlier this year while attending the Australian International Airshow 2015, I was fortunate to take a tour of sistership A41-211 and the experience can be viewed by clicking onto the link below :
