Qantas B738 WiFi Test Flight

It looks like QF B738 VH-XZB was out doing a WiFi test flight this morning, departing Sydney as QF6160 at 0739.

They tracked fairly normally to just short of Melbourne, then turned right onto a reciprocal track until just back into New South Wales, where they did a diversion out towards Moruya, before returning
to the normal Melbourne-Sydney flight track back to Sydney. Flight time was 2hr 21min. Qantas cancelled its planned launch of free inflight wi-fi last week due to "stability issues" with the service.
