Combining delivery with test flight I expect. A lot of things can go wrong in a paintshop.

Meanwhile RQP isn't even attempting a ferry flight today. Will make 4th attempt tomorrow.

VH-VOR did a similar flight when it went from all white to Tigerair livery.

Guessing it's finally getting a repaint, most likely all white. LY-UNO ex VOT is also flying around with VOZ engine cowlings and red winglets, used to have half a VA tail as well. LY-TRE (ex VUB) was in the GetJet fleet until recently as well, with a Centrum Air tail but has now been converted into a freighter by Israel Aerospace Industries at Yichang.
