Boeing BBJ's in Aus?

Hi all

I was just wondering if anyone knows if there are currently any BBJ's based in Australia?
Ifso where are they based and who operates them? (Any contacts would be greatly appreciated!)

Many thanks

Have checked the register and only QF, Virgin and Heavylift (Ozjet) are listed as 737 owners. There may be an N registered one floating around though!

Why would you fly in a Boeing when you can fly on a Global Express?

Grundy's BBJ has been sitting in Brisbane for several weeks and Packer is getting one this year I think.

Coz, if you want SPACE(as in room to move), RELIABILITY, ENDURANCE, & A GREAT PLANE TO FLY, you'd have a BBJ/BBJ 2, dopey

Have noticed one parked on Dom 6 at SY, N registered ending in RJ, with a large RJ on the tail, not sure who owns it though!

Packer is getting one this year I think.

On the news this morning, Packer is delaying his order for his BBJ now & is selling some assest instead.
