Thanks Greg for sharing. Hopefully the damage is minor & can be fixed easily so it can get back in the air

From the looks of it on Flightaware she was at FL390, so hopefully indicating no punctures from the Brisbane incident.

Qantas Yam Dreaming 787 Dreamliner damaged by tornado

A Qantas Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner suffered undisclosed damage after an unexpected tornado tore through Brisbane Airport on Friday afternoon.

Video footage of the aircraft, registration VH-ZND, shows the strong winds dramatically tugging and pushing the 128-tonne plane, as it stood at the gate.

The three-year-old Dreamliner, boasting the iconic Yam Dreaming livery, had landed at Brisbane 6:30am on Friday morning after completing flight QF16 from Los Angeles.

New route for a Qantas 789, with ZNF currently positioning from LAX to SIN as QF6015, presumably for 3yr maintenance - the last of the 2018 deliveries to undergo this work.

With the exception on ZNA which has been in storage at Brisbane, then Sydney since 19 Oct, all ten remaining Qantas 787-9s were in the air today (Sunday 19th Dec).
The last time all eleven were in the air on the same day was 18 March 2020.

Does anyone know when ZNA will return to service?
