Here are some shots from earlier in the morning, when 99-6143 was parked on the new Kilo Apron (before being towed to DOM6 Bay 99), and then the departure later in the morning.
99-6143 is associated with United States Department of State Foreign Emergency Support Team activities. This is a quick-reaction transportation operation utilized by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Domestic Emergency Support Team, and the Foreign Emergency Support Team to respond to terrorist incidents worldwide. The aircraft may also be utilized in conjunction with the Special Activities Division of the Central Intelligence Agency. The squadron motto is "Non semper ea sunt quae videntur" which translates as "Not always what they seem". Arriving on Sunday evening around 1830L, 99-6143 spent its time at Sydney Airport parked on the new Kilo Apron.

Nice pics Grahame. Intriguing movement, given the squadrons motto 'Non semper ea sunt quae vindentur' which translates as "Not always what they seem".
