Flight QF1672 touched down in Hobart at around 1:40pm on Friday afternoon aboard VH-8NQ, returning to Perth shortly before 3pm. The route revives a service last operated in 2023, and will fly three times per week, providing an extra 32,000 annual seats between Tasmania and WA.
Held at RAAF Base Richmond over the weekend, the event attracted around 80,000 people and featured both static and aerial displays such as the F-35A Lightning II, F/A-18F Super Hornet, E-7A Wedgetail, P-8 Poseidon, and No. 100 Squadron’s heritage aircraft.
Black Hawk A25-112, originally produced by American defence company Sikorsky, was operated by the Australian Defence Force alongside other aircraft seeing operational service in Cambodia, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, East Timor and Pakistan.
The proposal would see up to 20 per cent of Hudson’s total share rights under the Qantas long-term incentive program vest based on the Flying Kangaroo’s reputation score, as tracked by external firm RepTrak. The Qantas board is also raising her salary from $1.65 million to $1.7 million.
The exercise, which wrapped up last month, involved collective training and offensive counter air activity at bases Tindal and Darwin, including live weapon drops at the Delamere Air Weapons Range and co-ordination with the Surveillance and Control Training Unit at Base Williamtown.
According to the Australian Government, the visit was more than just a demonstration of Australia’s defence aircraft, as it offered a display of bilateral allyship in the Indo-Pacific while stability in the South China Sea remains fractured.
