What is VH-OGJ up to this morning as QF6100 ?

VH-OGN did a flight similar to that just before it was retired as QF6100 too, so maybe OGJ is next to be retired? :(

Normally QF will swap high-time vs low-time spares after an aircraft is withdrawn.

This could be a check flight before ferry to storage,

OGN was withdrawn on the the 6th.

The day before this flight

A little bit of Calibration going on this morning at Richmond by VH-FIZ - looks like a RW25 departure from Sydney, then
a northerly track from Picnic Point to Kellyville. A36-002 is parked on the eastern apron but still on ADS-B.

Hi Grahame

Do you know when G-OOBC is due to depart?

Tks

Mark, No Flight Plan in the system yet at FlightAware

It looks like REX178 VH-ZLO had some problems over the Blue Mountains this afternoon, and returned to Sydney
after a couple of orbits just west of Richmond. I only heard the back end of the ATC transmissions, so not sure
what happened.

Just checked the weather, maybe that was the problem ?

Gulfstream G-V HB-JKI made a large diversion to the north after departure to work around the weather. ATC said the
front was moving at 30kts and was 15nm wide and 100nm long.

Not sure if this is the right thread - I have four flights in my ADS-B log yesterday from VH-EQZ (7C1699); I can't seem to find any information about this plane though, nor any other previous flights before yesterday.
