However, I heard the fixed wing 600, 609 saying their goodbyes, leaving until next season yesterday at 0950 as they flew out. So it is anyones guess as to what is going on!
Bombers 607, 608 and 610 are still at jandakot

Manji's bombers have departed, all on the 7th. I am sure Jandakot isn't to far away (I have been told they departed the other day or the contract cancelled.)

3 of them are over in QLD for there usual tour of duty, I think they are back in Dec, or late November. If it stay's dry I am sure that the Air Tractors will be bought online early.

669 is at the airport without its tank. It was noted today using the callsign firebird 620 ( I think) Which is air attack, the other 3 helicopters are not outside at the moment.

611 is also at Helicopters Australia, in total there are 4 there, one is white/red with out a number or tank, the rego is too small for me to see it from the internal service road.
