VH-OQB has just performed a 54 minute flight from SYD-SYD heading west over the blue mountains towards Orange, then south and back towards Yass as QF6016. There are two further flights scheduled for today, obviously for A380 crew training prior to it commencing service on 11/1/22.

The current flight by OQB is the 25th training flight since QANTAS commenced them on 5/1/22. They have operated everyday since then with a maximum of six flights on two days.

It will be interesting to see if the training flights continue after tomorrow now that OQD is back in SYD.
