Over the last week or so Boeing has been ferrying un-delivered B787s to VCV due to the lack of storage space for un-delivered jets at Everett.

The three QF birds haven't flown as yet .

Good catch !

I wonder if "Mateship" was revealed as a Covid thing considering the other two L&N have their names taped over.

After VH-ZNM completed a taxi test on 16th (Seattle time) revealing the name, it then completed its B1 test on 17th as BOE281.

Pics for 17th on both the Payne Field Blog and on Jen Schuld's Twitter feed.

Subsequently on 18th, Qantas 787-9 VH-ZNM was flown as BOE281 to Victorville (VCV) for storage. So still under Boeing control ...

ZNM name re-taped for ferry flight.

Maybe an accidental reveal

ZNA & ZNG are both on their way to LAX as QF6001 & QF6004.

Not sure if I am behind in the times!? or onto something.
