Slightly off topic of Q400s with ADSB but can someone advise if all the REX Saabs are now fitted with ADSB? I have logged Sydney Saabs and those from other cities logs, including Cairns but cannot find the following:

VH-OLL; VH-ZRC; VH-ZRJ; VH-ZRK; VH-ZRZ

Many thanks for any update on these aircraft ADSB status and/or where they maybe currently based.

Have you checked www.flightradar24.com ?

OLL is currently taxiing at ADL with ADS-B, for example.

You can also use their data page which will give you a history of each rego you search for.

Yes, I tracked the ones I had on Flight Radar but hadn't used their individual search facility to find specific aircraft. Thank you for introducing me to this, Max.

I have found all the REX Saabs except VH-ZLA and VH-ZRC which FR has no record of for the last week. They are possibly in maintenance. I tracked ZLA operating out of Adelaide in November last year, so it looks as though they are all fitted with ADSB except maybe ZRC which maybe having it installed at present.

ZRC has ADS-B. Im almost certain they all do. ZRC tends to spend most of its time based out of CNS where there isnt the greatest of coverage. According to FR24 (i have gold which give more in depth history) its been stuck in Hughenden since march 24.

Thanks so much for your help, Zac. I found VH-ZRC operating in Queensland from and to Cairns, Mt Isa, Townsville etc.

VH-ZLA is the only REX Saab that I cannot find on FR24. Maybe in maintenance as FR (for me) only goes back 7 days from when I have commenced searching.

It's in maintenance in WGA.

ZLA does have ADS-B (had it when I first started logging in Feb 2014), it arrived in WGA as RXA681 on the 10th of March. ZRC was fitted awhile ago (first log I have is 3 March 2014 as RXA3286)

Like Zac, I'm also certain all of the Saabs in the REX Group have ADS-B fitted, in fact some of the Australia Airline Pilot Academy's Piper Warriors have been fitted with ADS-B.
