C'mon Ryan, where are they? She's a beautiful bird in Hawaiian colours.

Heres one of it arriving in Adelaide.

After the collapse of Aloha, it certainly makes sense that Hawaiian is acquiring more B717's for the inter-island flights.

Does anyone know if any other ex-Qantas B717's are destined for Hawaii?

From what others have told me VH-NXB/C/F are the three that are going to Hawaiian.

Thanks Ryan, nice pic. I note you use photo bucket to upload your pics which is excellent. I uploaded my pics using this sites attachment function at around the same resolution as yours (1024 px wide) but obviously my pics got resized down to the site's 600 px restriction, which is a shame considering that this is essentially a 'spotters' site. Not complaining, just making a completely uninformed observation.

Nige,

From what I have heard, VH-NXF? is set to do the same as NXB.
