Changing the Guard in the West

[Bob C]

Hi Mark

I can't recall whether it was leased or under long term evaluation so you may be correct as I took a photo of SE-KXA wearing red/blue Skywest titles. But I do recall that it was in the news when there was a major medical emergency aboard one of its early flights.

VH-ZXK is scheduled to enter service Monday afternoon ops ZL4536/4537 ADL-WYA-ADL.

VH-ZXF is still tucked away in the hanger in Adelaide. There are a few problems with it, which I guess stems from it being in storage for a while.

will kick-off the REX WA services.

ZRE kicked off the REX service at 14:27 local followed by ZLF at 16:13.

ZRZ looks like an operational spare.
