VH-YQV has continued from Keflavik, Iceland to Goose Bay, Canada & Thunder Bay, Canada

VH-YQV is scheduled to fly its last leg from Minneapolis/St Paul (MSP) to VCV.

Apparently the flight has been delayed by 24 hours due to not meeting US customs requirements, presumably with the crew.

Interesting... I believe SXI are out of the Netherlands but I wonder where they crew from.

VH-YQV has now flown from Thunder Bay to LAX and after just over two and a half hours on the ground has flown to VCV where it has just landed. What an amazing journey - 13 stops from CBR to VCV. An epic up there with the ex-Alliance F50's ferry flight to Panama City.

I'm not sure why Flightaware was showing the B712 as being in MSP, but it has now been corrected. Often these ferry flights are a bit "hit and miss" showing incorrect information.

Interestingly it appears it flew the last two legs on a QFA callsign not SXI

Yes, QFA6070 compared to SXI2324. Maybe the flight number change was the resolution to one of the US issues that resulted in the one day delay in Thunder Bay. A Southern Cross SXI flight number on a QANTAS titled and liveried aircraft, maybe?

Sounded like a set of aussie crew on LiveATC
