Yes, to pick up those who have been flown from Beirut to Larnaca on other chartered flights. Seems to be operating under an RAAF callsign.

Supposed to be another in a couple of days.

Ausy is a government callsign for flights to and from Aus, HiFly also used it when they did the ADF charter contract.

Good to see, end of an era, I would hope she was non negotiable material when it came to disposal, given she is the last production aircraft where Qantas flew both the first and last, but she is probably heading east rather than south….Zac, when are the final ops?

Why would they bother repainting VXC when it’s one of the first to go with the fleet renewal? Surely the XZ rego series would be a better choice for a repaint ��*♂️
