Default Boeing 203
Happened to pick up transmissions from Boeing 203 on 123.4 (Brisbane Centre) today around 2pm at cruise altitude. It was handed off to 125.0 Melbourne Centre, so evidently heading south to CB or ML. Any ideas what it was -- maybe a delivery flight or a Boeing corporate jet...?

Boeing 203 was N361BJ BOE203 B737-7ES BBJ - RAAF (Wedgetail)

Was in the Sydney/Richmond area for a couple hours.

Thanks guys. Just a bit surprised that the pilot was American in that case.

Pretty sure I have read recently that the Wedgetails "handed over" to RAAF recently are still actually on Boeing's Books with Boeing rego's and usually Boeing crew present on flights.
