A third C-27J Spartan (A34-003) arrived at Richmond yesterday.

You might pick it up doing laps around the Richmond area.

I picked it up on ADS-B on Tuesday afternoon at 16:20 Greg, so maybe it went to Nowra first.

Reminder this Sunday Air Canada upgrade BNE to daily 789's replacing the 788's.

This will be the first time AC 789'S have operated to Australia.

Cheers.
