I've just finished doing the same maths and was going to ask the same question, thanks James!

I have just looked at the Boeing test flights and Flight Aware, VH-8IB, flying as BOE724, did BFI/MWH/BFI on 5 Nov. That is the last flight showing.
|
8IB looks to be flying to MLB, Florida tomorrow 9/11/23 at 11:00am local west coast US time as VA9946. This time should be plus a day and minus 6 hours or 5am Friday 10/11/23 SYD daylight saving time or 4:00am for BNE. See my post #100, Dennis. Source the Virgin website, flight status details.

VH-8IB, B38M as VA9946 is nearly halfway through its five hour flight to MLB, Florida for what looks to be some technical work there.

VH-XFE test flight
Sorry wrong thread

VH-8IB, B38M as VA9947 is currently nearly halfway between ONT-OGG (Kahului) after flying MLB-ONT earlier Wednesday, US time. She was in MLB from 9-22/11/23.
Virgin Flight Status has the flight continuing our way Thursday morning, US time to NOU which could be a planned refueling stop that may not be needed as the fuel burn is monitored on this sector. The next scheduled sector is NOU-BNE with a scheduled arrival time of 15:50 Friday afternoon. The other two Max deliveries operated nonstop from Hawaii to Brisbane which could also happen with 8IB. |
VH-8IB, is currently flying OGG-BNE with a scheduled arrival time of 13:12 AEST according to Flightaware. The NOU fuel stop looks as though it is not needed.
