I realise that now. Got my dates mixed up. My apologies.

Looks like VH-KNU has been sold, departs Wagga shortly for Darwin and Jakarta.

777 appears to be ongoing ... pending commencement of 787 operations next year of course!

Hi Robert,
I also saw that last night when I was looking around the radar...Does anyone have an idea why it turned around from that far away, and didn't just divert back to Brisbane?
Thanks

AFAIK, SYD is the only Fedex port in Australia. If it's a tech issue, which I suspects it is, by returning to SYD rather than BNE etc any parts they require can literally be fedexed straight to the aircraft!
