Believe wing repaints on 787’s are only done at BUS and VCV, Air NZ’s were done at Victorville whereas the JQ ones have been done in Busan, Korea. Takes around 12-14 days.

C2 on 21st (C1 was on 19th) - both from Everett.

Edit : Oh, and based on its taxiway position, ZNL had just landed after the flight.

ZNM still sporting a replacement white rudder after her original one ended up on the one that got damaged in LAX whilst undergoing maintenance, which I think was ZNG.

Copy+Paste from another forum.

Qantas’ 12th 787 VH-ZNL will be flown to Melbourne this weekend as QF6040.

It will be taking a slightly longer route from Seattle to allow for extra research for Project Sunrise. Expected flight time around 20 hours.

On its way, the flight trackers show an arrival around 05:00 AEST (point to point), although a 20 hour flight time would suggest 08:46 AEST Monday.

According to Paine Field Blog "ZB281 Qantas 787-9 VH-ZNM moves to the 45-01 April 30 for repaint." VH-ZNM on flightline

If the 7 weeks between ZNL going in for repaint and delivery holds, that would see ZNM delivered around 18th June.
If there was extra time involved in getting ZNL ready for its Project Sunrise test, then we might possibly see ZNM earlier.
