RAAF ......
... has been a few different planes around the area at present.
Caught this RAAF E-7A Wedgetail and from the RAAF info page they say...
About the Aircraft
The E-7A Wedgetail is based on a Boeing 737-700, with the addition of an advanced Multi-Role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) radar, and 10 state-of-the-art mission crew consoles which can track airborne and maritime targets simultaneously.
It is a highly advanced aircraft, providing an airborne early warning and control platform that can gather information from a wide variety of sources, analyse it, and distribute it to other assets.
The E-7A Wedgetail can:
control the tactical battle space;
provide direction for assets in the air, at sea and on land; and
support aircraft such as tankers and intelligence platforms.
Suppose if you are not into planes of no interest what so even - however hope the pic gives you an idea of how it is loaded with the hi tech gear.
... have also added a couple of back Blips from our trip if you wish to check.....
here with our Blip meet in Vienna and here.
Enjoy and have a look in LARGE
