I needed a magnifying glass to confirm the name!

Thanks again James,

I think a telescope is more appropriate.

On the IFE date above it should arrive in BNE on or around 06/05/24 (Based on prev).

Greg, of the two MAX's so far sent to MLB for IFE work, 8IB took 12 days, excluding the arrival and departure days and 8ID took 6 days. I presume that they both had the same work done. We'll see if a week is going to be the normal installation time from here on in.

According to Virgin Flight Status, VH-8IF's flight from BFI to MLB scheduled for today has been cancelled.

VA9946 on May 3rd seemed to have been cancelled again. Does anyone know why the delivery flight kept getting pushed back?

[Michael Mak]

VA9946 is now rescheduled for May 8th according to FR24

[Greg Hyde]

I've seen nothing showing that 8IF has been delivered.

The flight showing on 8 May (local time) is to Melbourne, Florida, for installation of customer equipment (assuming it happens this time!?).

[Greg Hyde]

VH-8IF is now showing as delivered, so expect the ferry to Melbourne, Florida should go ahead

8IF is in MLB, oddly scheduled as VA9947 9 May local time to KOA via ONT. Could wifi have been installed already??

FR24 is showing that it flew to MLB on the 08/05 local as VA9946
