A Qantas 747 (flight QFA1364) just flew past my work window on approach to Adelaide AP, (coming from Rockhampton Previous to that it flew an odd looking track from Sydney to Rockhampton this morning). Some kind of special charter flight? Not often you see a Qantas widebody gracing our skies these days...

I think it might be similar military charter flight based on this, which is from June 5th.

"plane came from darwin carrying Australian diggers - more troops being picked up in Rockhampton before it flies onto Adelaide tomorrow morning"

It looks like two separate 747s have been involved in a rotation of troops between Sydney, Darwin, Rockhampton and Adelaide:

Im actually shocked that the flight movements of troop charters is publicly available. I would have thought this information should be classified. If these are actual troop flights, then they are very lax publishing this information. Just like when services personnel appear in uniform on TV with their name badge on display. I would have thought we would be more careful with such information now.

RAAF aircraft dont appear on those flight tracker sites/apps. You cant even see POLAIR on there.
Those listed above are commercial aircraft, so the "tracking" sites/apps can see them. But even so its not like RAAF advertise that X commerical plane has been chartered and its whereabouts. That one in the facebook link only made the news because it was a 747 landing at a regional airport.

From their master plan. Interesting...
8.4.8. Space Tourism (pg 150)
There is an opportunity for spacecraft to operate
at Adelaide Airport for space tourism activity in the
future. Adelaide Airport will work with space tourism
operators to consider the terminal and airfeld
requirements for spacecraft operations.

Go to page 148 for 20 year vision image too.

In the 2014 report they actually called it a tram corridor. "High capacity public transport" sounds like something the PR team came up with so they could avoid all mention of the dreaded "T" word in the current report.
