The RAAF has used Mackay Airport to conduct a series of training exercises for its Caribou crews this week.

The aircraft is connected to Operation 28 Squadron RAAF Amberley.
  
The Caribou (DHC-4)is a twin-engine, short takeoff and landing (STOL) utility transport built by de Havilland Aircraft of Canada, Ltd. It is used primarily for tactical airlift missions in forward battle areaswith short, unimproved airstrips.

As a cargo aircraft the Caribou can haul more than three tons of equipment. The Caribou's STOL capability made it particularly suitable for delivering troops, supplies, and equipment to isolated outposts. The Caribou made its first flight in June 30, 1958.
