707 Perth Yesterday

Hey people,

yesterday morning about 10am or so, a 707 flew over my place departing Perth. Grey in color. Anyone able to tell me whose it was? I was thinking RAAF, but....

also, Sunday arvo about 4pm, a really nice looking 737 with winglets flew by, looked to be private/government, again, thought "Air Force" but I didn't see markings on it.... some pollie's private jet perhaps?

PS - Anyone know what happened to the Flight Centre guy? He's been replaced.

Yep, 707 was RAAF. Other one was possibly a RAAF BBJ (737)... was it grey underbelly, blue pin stripe and white top with red writing?

Yep. That sounds like it. Didn't see any writing as virtually underneath it at the time - was just able to see blue pin stripe. Man, that was a nice plane, even if I always say the winglets look a little out of place..... Nice and simple paint job does it every time.

Thanks.
