Guest richmondtroy Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Just saw a 767 leave richmond RAAF base and it was rather brightly coloured. All i could see was a bright red underside with white top, and the same coloured tale and engines. The colour was actually close to a pink. I know the QANTAS paint shop is located on the base however other airlines have had planes painted there. Does anyone know what airline that plane would have come from just going by the colours?
Guest Chainsaw Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Having a look on OzRadar now. Nope, nothing on there. Maybe ACARS will pick it up if its heading to YSSY. Troy, see if you can me the most accurate time it left.
Guest richmondtroy Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 looks like it was heading back to sydney airport
Guest Glenn Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Maybe a special livery to do with breast cancer?
Guest Chainsaw Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Ill keep monitoring ACARS and will post on this thread if I see anything. I really want to know too. Oh, if it was only a special paint scheme for Qantas. That would be sooo cool.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 Could it be a Jetstar aircraft going in for a touch up?
Guest richmondtroy Posted October 5, 2006 Posted October 5, 2006 i posted the question about 2 minutes after i saw it, so just look at the time i posted it :P
