Over the course of this week, both of the Queensland Government Airwing (State of Queensland) aircraft - Raytheon Hawker 850XP bizjet VH-SGY and Raytheon B300 Super King Air VH-SGQ - have been noted calling into various CQ Airports ferrying the Queensland Premier and Ministers around to various parts.

After visiting Mackay Airport late last week, VH-SGY called in briefly at Hervey Bay (Fraser Coast) Airport from Brisbane on Sunday 10 September.  After a trip to Adelaide, VH-SGY then called into Bundaberg Airport on Wednesday 13 September, also from Brisbane.  After a short time on the ground, VH-SGY departed Bundy for Mount Isa before returning later in the day.

Meanwhile, on Wednesday 13 September, VH-SGQ arrived into Maryborough Airport from Brisbane.  It then flew to Townsville and Palm Island.  After a couple hours on the ground, VH-SGQ returned to Townsville before it continued South to Bundaberg Airport.

Then on Friday 15 September, VH-SGQ departed Bundaberg Airport for Kingaroy and Wondai before it returned to Brisbane.
