Please post any information/questions about new deliveries, first flights etc in our region in this thread.

Jeststar's new VH-VWQ was pulled out of the Hamburg factory yesterday with a very green complexion (unpainted) and should make a first flight in the near future.

HEADS-UP for NEXT MONTH IN CANBERRA

On 15/11/2016 the first P-8 (A42-001) is expected to arrive in Canberra and be formally handed over to RAAF.

Of course, date is subject to change ....

A third C-27J Spartan (A34-003) arrived at Richmond yesterday.

You might pick it up doing laps around the Richmond area.

I picked it up on ADS-B on Tuesday afternoon at 16:20 Greg, so maybe it went to Nowra first.

Reminder this Sunday Air Canada upgrade BNE to daily 789's replacing the 788's.

This will be the first time AC 789'S have operated to Australia.

Cheers.
