That leaves one (OQC) on Aus soil

They say the A380's are being stored at VCV because they have an engineering team at LAX that can drive down and do the periodical maintenance?
Is this a Qantas team?
Are other airlines A380's also being stored at VCV?

Qantas have/had forty odd staff in LA https://www.qantasnewsroom.com.au/me...cility-at-lax/

OQK completed her ferry to VCV on 22/07

OQD flew a 3 hour and 42 minute test flight to the north-west of AUH over the Persian Gulf yesterday. Preparing to position to VCV to join the gang, perhaps?

I like the folk on pprune suggesting OQC will fly a white elephant track after departure!

[Greg Hyde]

I've heard that OQD/G/I will ferry via the Atlantic rather than the Pacific route
