Does anyone know what the fate of the 707 will be?
It's sort of sad as it is one of my favorite aircraft. I was at Richmond last year when XBA made its last visit.... oh well, some photos and memories. |

From a thread in the flying and technical section i was told they are apparently being sold to a company that does air to air refueling i think in America, Omega.

I'm hoping to get a seat on the flight on Monday - look for us over Sydney Harbour!
Yep, the last few airframes and the sim will likely go to Omega Air, although I understand no deal has been signed yet. There are a couple of retired aircraft at Richmond which need some work before they're flown out, as they're out of airframe hours.

Pretty boring stuff really...one pass then gone!! I thought it might have done a few passes at least.

A few shots
It did three passes: one from south to north followed by two from east to west with a nice right bank over the Harbour Bridge and City.
I managed to grab a few shots with my pocket camera but only from a distance:
