was the mission for transport, pax or VIP?

[AbraxasVideo]

@tubelib Neither. It was her final flight for photographs over Sydney Harbour before heading into retirement.

Goodbye Old Girl....have actually worked on her and her sisters many years ago....

Sad to see them go.

[AbraxasVideo]

@jdisnow Beautiful aircraft. I used to work near the AFB and loved everytime one came in. Thanks for watching :)

[jdisnow]

@AbraxasVideo Any idea what happened to them? Are they still parked at Richmond, or have they been turned into apprentice food?

[AbraxasVideo]

@jdisnow I think they've now been sold to another company. They're no longer at Richmond.

@AbraxasVideo Sold to Omega Air.

[AbraxasVideo]

@huntsman335 Hey mate, yeah I think I read that thread. That's kinda good news but will we get to see them anymore?

Great Video of RAAF 707, an plane I do miss seeing in our skies. What is the Tri-jet in the background and who does it belong to? :)

[AbraxasVideo]

@phantomworks23 I remember in my early days of starting to work at Richmond I went to the Maccas and was graced with the sight and sound of one of these 707's on finals for the AFB. My god that was amazing!

The tri-jet was definitely a USAF KC-10, but can't remember from where. It was a regular visitor to Richmond at the time :)

[phantomworks23]

@AbraxasVideo That would of been a beautiful sight, I think the RAAF 707's are not hushkitted either so ifthat is the case it would of been even better! Thanks, I suspected it was a KC-10, i think the paint on the tail threw me off :P
