GOLD COAST 2014 MOVEMENTS

[Nathan S]

Thanks terry, AAM are now bringing some of my more favoured types to OOL, I'm loving seeing the islander hanging about as well.

This is a bit vague, but do you know just what the heck the big single prop silver aircraft up the air Gold Coast/care flight end of the GA apron? It appears to be a pilatusand looks like a beast!

[TERRY MAGEE]

Almost certainly a Pilatus PC-12 as there is often one around there, I guess they service them there. Even thw demonstrator N9401S probably came in for sevice recently.

In the same area were uisually Professional Helicopter Services R-22s but they seem to have disappeared. I wonder if their Melbourne centre is still operating.

[Nathan S]

'Tis indeed a PC-12, thanks Terry!

I spotted two chinooks from the top of kirra hill at approx 1115 this morning, 'twas a wonderful noise

[TERRY MAGEE]

I heard them on tower but as they were cleared max 500ft they were too low to see from home.

Landed in Ballina at about 1145 and waited out the storm, have since departed

[Evan Yananyi]

This shouldn't be here I know, but at the airport when I saw Yananyi I ran to its gate and the staff told me that in ONE week the plane will be repainted so get those photos of it while you can!
