Tomorrow is the arrival of the first RPT A321 NEO to Australia with PR213 to BNE.
It will operate 4 times weekly MNL-BNE with SYD to follow next week.

I will have pics on my flickr tomorrow of it.

Cheers.

Although the flight has already taken place, today's QR907 rotation is the first flight the aircraft has taken since delivery. A7-BEV, operating this flight was only delivered 29 June 2018.

I don't think Canberra has had the honor of a first flight of an aircraft since delivery.

Tasman Cargo (DHL brand) 763F about to pass over BNE shortly on way to AKL.

DHK 001P ..G-DHLH on FR24 now.

Cheers.

Nice... is the 767 replacing the ol' 757?

[lloyd fox]

There has been various discussions on this, but the feeling is both will be kept.

The 757 will head to Seletar and is expected back but things can change.

Cheers.:)

I heard that the 757's engine is kaput.

[Erik H. Bakke]

I saw the 767 in Sydney on Saturday afternoon as I was on my way from the beach to Rwy 25.
