QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[Greg Hyde]

B717 VH-YQU departed Canberra this morning for VCV via the Pacific as SXI2402.

[Greg Hyde]

By my reckoning that leaves 11 to go.

NXE, G, L, N, O, Q, YQS, T, W, X, Y

NXL has been parked up in Canberra for the best part of a month now, i suspect she is done.

Does anyone know what's wrong with ZNM? Seems to be stuck in NY

[Greg Hyde]

I wonder if YQU & 8NP will cross paths (with good separation) in the middle of the Pacific

[Greg Hyde]

VH-YQU is about to land at VCV and complete her ferry.

What a difference a fuel bladder makes, 3days vs 3weeks !

I wish I could get a new bladder that would give me longer flight time!!!

ZNM operated QF3 departing SYD and arriving in JFK on Monday 8 January. The returning QF4 was cancelled with ZNM having just left JFK as Wednesday's QF4, to schedule but two days later. It is flying a very northerly USA circle route, possibly due to weather and will cross the US west coast somewhere north of SFO to AKL. The QF3 scheduled for yesterday from SYD was also cancelled. I don't know the reason for Monday's cancellation from JFK. Hopefully, tomorrow's QF3 will operate as planned.

As close as your local Bunnings Warehouse

Your new bladder....

Thanks a lot Adrian for your research. At $21.98 I can buy an extra 20 litres. I shall place it under the bed for that pressure moment, or three!
