It was a medical return. I listened to the pilot describing the sick passenger as conscious but in a serious condition. The tenders probably followed the aircraft in to check on overheating and a possible fire from the landing gear as it would have landed at maximum landing weight.

Noticed VH-XML at Christchurch in Qantas Freight colours. Looked pretty good.

[Jarden S]

Yes Gerald XML on the side has Qantas in black and Freight in red. Will all the AAE 737's get the same treatment? There goes another livery from our skies then.

It looks a lot better than the 767 and yes it has the kangaroo on the tail.

Yes Jarden all 4 AAE 733'S will be painted.

Apparently RA-76503 IL-76 is heading down under as we speak from IAH, not sure of its destination.
