734 test flights
 

Anyone know why several QF 734's have been doing ML-ML test flights recently?

End of ownership/lease(?) flights.

I'm thinking some sort of training, the same aircraft are doing it a lot...first one was TJS on the first, and it has operated everyday since...

Most likely base training (circuits etc) that QF conducts for one of the Japanese airlines (Skymark maybe?).

Unfortunately QF no longer does any circuit training in the aircraft for its own pilots, too expensive apparently.

There is a B734 de-roo'd at MEL at the moment btw...

I rekon it could be VH-TJE. It hasn't flown for nearly a week.
