The final take-off of A20-624 'Richmond Town' from Richmond Air Force Base. The RAAF retired their 707's in 2008 and this was their last. Seen here taking off for its final flight and photographs over Sydney Harbour.

Listen to those engines!

Many thanks to the fellow spotter who allowed me to get up on his van's roof for the take-off footage!

  • was the mission for transport, pax or VIP?

  • @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.

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

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

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

  • @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
