QANTAS Fleet and Operations

[Neil Hogbin]

VH-OQA will be leaving Victorville for LAX as QF6023 at 1530 local today. Was originally scheduled for last Thursday but better late than never.

[Tristan S]

Nancy-Bird Walton has departed VCV and is now en route to LAX.

Thank you Neil for the information on OQA leaving long-term storage. This leaves just two QANTAS A380s remaining at VCV - OQI & OQL, apart from the recently parted out OQE & OQF.

VH-QPG has been in Brisbane since04/22, seems a long time for maintenance, has it just been stored or is their another issue?

[James Smith]

Jamie, when this question was asked on 20/8/22 the answer was that QPG was having a C check so I guess that this is still the case.

[Dennis McLean]

Have been at the back of the Airport. The QF hanger is closed with EBD nose up to the doors, I guess EBB is still inside. QPG is there with some work being done on the rear of the tail by the look of "tape"etc. Could not get a pic as was raining, bugger. All other hanger doors closed, Nauru, Alliance. Outside the old ITB was Jetstar 788 VKL which had arrived from DPS last night.

A change of pace here [not seen these reported here]

All 717s except VH-YQW now in Silver Roo - Anyone know the National parks names for VH-NXH, VH-YQX, YQY please?

Dash 8-400 VH-LQJ now in Silver Roo - named Jervis Bay. Four remain in old scheme, and 3 likely have names:
VH-LQG Cowes
VH-LQM Ulladulla
VH-LQQ Darling Downs
VH-LQK [name unknown].

and VH-TQM is Merimbula.

The remaining Q400s are now painted in silver roo livery with LQQ the last one done from September 17 to September 30.

TQS, YQV and YQW are the only aircraft not yet painted in silver roo for QantasLink, although YQV has a name and the retro nose art
