Latest REX SF340's
340B+ DELIVERIES
Now going with the smaller aircraft. The two latest ex American Eagle Saab 340B's (+) for Regional Express - REX. N389AE - VH-ZRB N388AE - VH-ZRZ With the continual delivery of these upgraded planes (one every month), REX withdrew 340B VH-OLN (207) from service on Feb 8th for spare parts. 340A UPGRADES The oldest SF340A VH-KDB (008) was stripped of its (very) old paint and repainted and fully refurbished and upgraded over the summer holidays. It now has a new leather interior and looks brand new again inside and out. First pic of the new KDB at Burnie Airport: http://www.myaviation.net/search/pho...hp?id=01298293 New KDB at Adelaide: http://www.myaviation.net/search/pho...hp?id=01315951 |
ZRB entered service last week....

The Saabs operate out of any base. It all depends on where they are needed around the network. I'm sure Adam will have some more solid info, but expect to see ZRB on any sector. David.M. |

As Dave pointed out, they shuffle around the network frequently. ZRB is currently showing WGA-SYD-WGA shuttles for the next few days... all, of course, subject to change at a moment's notice...

It is interesting that Saab340B VH-OLN is being used for spare parts but they retain and refurbish the very old Saab340A VH-KDB.

VH-KDK, the first southern hemisphere based SF3 was also fully refurbished in July 2006 and VH-KDI also had an interior refit done but it hasn't been repainted yet (or has it?). These older units often operate out of Melbourne but are rotated between Adelaide and Sydney. I havent seen EKT for a while, maybe its getting refurbished. But I've seen alot more 340B's (along with 340A's) down in Burnie, Tasmania in the last 4 or 5 months. |
