C-GJWE is ferrying MAJ to BNE tomorrow 25/4/25 with an ETA, at this stage, of 13:52, according to FlightAware. It is nearly an 8 hour flight, so the bladder must be stretched to the limit.

Arrived in BNE at 14:26 today. It looks to have "4F" painted above the windscreen on a photo posted by HNL Rare Birds as it passed through there.

TQX to TMW today for paint into white.

84A has ferried SYD-CNS for maintenance. Due back 10 May. Likely for interior refit to bring it to the same standard as the refurbished Dash8’s.

CNS normally does the heavy stuff, wonder why not Tamworth?

TMW is being shut down once the -200/300’s are disposed of.

CNS also does the interior refits while in heavy maintenance so has all the required tooling/interior components.
