Named "Brighton Beach" (can zoom this one)

VH-8IE as BOE006 (MSN 66644/8882) has just completed its first flight on 12/6/24 from RNT-BFI lasting 2 hours 27 minutes.

VH-8IE has performed a second test flight lasting 01:02

8IG flight planned from BFI to MLB (Melbourne Florida) 18 Jun 1100 LT. VA9946.

Still haven't seen a name for 8IG yet.

No images hi-res enough to zoom up and read.

VH-8IG as BOE007 (MSN 66648/8905) has just completed its customer acceptance third flight on 18/6/24 from BFI-BFI lasting 2 hours 53 minutes. It looks as though 8IG's departure to MLB from BFI on 18/6/24 has been cancelled.

8IG to MLB scheduled now for the 20th, still as VA9946

...possibly indicating a problem was identified in the acceptance flight.

I don't think there was a problem, Yusef. The flight to MLB was scheduled to depart BFI at 11:00 am on 18/6/24. At that time the customer acceptance flight was still taking place and didn't arrive back at BFI until 12:20pm on the same day - 18/6/24. We'll see if the scheduled departure on 20th takes place.

8IG is on its way from BFI to MLB and is currently on decent. It should be there for nine or ten days before its delivery flight to BNE.
