Those brown aircraft outside the qantas maintenance terminal are actually A330s For the RAAF

HIghly doubtful that Westfield have a 727 as there is none allowed on the Australian register.... Putting a 727 into BNA would be tight hedging my thoughts towards a different aircraft into ballina.

From memory the family involved with Westfield operate (amongst others) a Global Express.

Flightradar24 only displays aircraft that have ADS-B capability, hence why you will only see some aircraft and not others.

More and more aircraft are being fitted with ADS-B gear, so expect this kind of tracking to grow in volume

Couldve been 737's or if the elevator was on top of the vertical stabiliser then it would've been a 717
