Default Omega inbound Cairns

Morning all,

just a heads up to anyone in the Carins area there are two Omega tankers due in this afternoon. Both the DC-10 (Omega10) and 707 (Omega71).

Dragging something along with them no doubt, will be interesting to see what comes through.

Cheers

I hope the brakes are on...that 707 looks like it's going to just slide right off the tarmac.

Richard G on the Jetspotter forum say our Hornets are due into Nellis by the 22nd for Red Flag. I would say they will do some refueling training with our Hornets up until then before takeing them to the states.
