I`d say your right Craig, Im getting a Month ahead of myself. They wont hang around that long. I will do some more investigating.

Thanks for the correction Damien.

I was taking my info from another site.

Another USAF C-17 arrived somewhere on the Eastern seaboard today.

06-6159 is the registration.

Great times for lovers of military aircraft!

Could have been Richmond, drove past at about 700pm last night and there was one over in the corner?

There was a C-17 at Williamtown yesterday arvo. Just as I was driving home past the Airport I saw it on the taxiway waiting to enter the runway.

Luckly I had my Receiver with me so I caught it before it left.

It's callsign was Aussie 762, so i'm guessing it was an RAAF C-17.

It's departed on Runway 12 and tracked north.

Quite a few people turned up actually to see it take off. Does anyone know if there was anything special about it?

[Craig Murray]

It has been confirmed that 06-6159 arrived in Brisbane and departed a couple of hours later.

Further to this a fifth C-17A is now in the area, rego is 06-6160.

The KC-10 (82-0193) that has been in Brisbane the last couple of days also looks to be on the move.

And in the rush I missed to note 05-5140 which passed through the region on Saturday.

Amazing, simply amazing is the only way to describe this level of activity!

Sounds bloody exciting! Will be going down to Newcastle next week to visit Fighter World, hope the Eagles will still be there then. Any locals from there keen for a meetup?
