Post by Paul »

While I was out watching the Blue Angels I came across a Royal Australian Air Force AWACS I think. Looks like a 737 but not sure. I know they build the 737's in Renton and go to Boeing Field for test flights. There is a military area at KBFI where they have some AWACS. I think it may be new, or would they come all the way up here for maintenance?
