Yes, poor old XFE. It hasn't moved in over three and a half years.

That's correct, XFH is CP-3208 and XFJ CP-3209 with Boliviana de Aviación .. quite a cool livery too!

XFE is heading to Turkey for a C check once the left slat is returned and installed. Will do a few test flights out of Perth before departing.

B38M, VH-8IB flew its third flight of one hour and four minutes BFI-BFI yesterday, 30/10/23.

This is from an engineer working on the A330 Tristan. So my guess is as good as yours. There is a slot for a C check in Turkey in November.

Yeah cool, I read it on another forum, but trust what you're saying if its from someone very close to it
But we've seen a lot about it over the years like that it would be scrapped.

Guess time will tell... dread to think what the parking fees have amounted to...

Roughly $2.7M at todays published rates, probably comparable to what they charge in the desert??
