RAAF B707's sold to Omega Air

[Peter Agatsiotis]

June Aviation Letter has reported that the 3 remaining B707's at RAAF Richmond were sold to Omega Air Inc on 7th April.
New registrations have been allocated as follows:

A20-623 to N623RH
A20-624 to N624RH
A20-629 to N629RH

As they have been in storage for some time they will need to be made airworthy (even if only for the ferry flight) so we will have to wait and see who carries this work out, and when.

36 Sqn who looked after and operated the B707's are now based in Amberley taking care of the C-17's so not sure how this exercise will be carried out (if they are involved).

I was at Richmond on the 6th June and the 3 a/c were still parked near the Control Tower.
