Mick, the Airforce refuellers are however I believe Omega is a civilian company that uses 707's as tankers. Their 707's still have the old engines too.

Anyone know what's happening to the 3 707's sitting at Richmond. I was of the understanding Omega were buying them?

Cheers

Just went past Willy, no Omega Tanker, however a KC-135 and a USAF C-17 were on the ground. The F-16's were still in their parking bays.

Omega's funding fell through - sadly, they'll be broken up for spares and scrapped!
