Was replaced by VH-SBA, must've came across an issue.

RXA658 was VH-ZXG first service. Missed getting photos of it but got its return this evening.

Still wears part of the former livery and the US rego has been stickered over.

Nice catch Robert

For a company that bought a paintshop they're behind on their repainting! The ugly ex-Nokair Saabs are still running around.

Thanks.

REX is waiting on council to do the work that is necessary for it to be used as a paint shop. All the other hangar space has been taken up by other aircraft that are in for maintenance.

Nice shot.

Looks like ZXG has been doing LAPS between WGA-SYD-WGA since entering service.

That was, when I was with them several years ago, standard practice with 'new' aircraft to the Rex fleet.
The reason? Engineers at both ends in case things haven't quite bedded down yet.

I think the exception has been ZXK which went into service in ADL. ZXF would be the next, which is also in ADL.

Interestingly ZXK still wears most of its former livery!

VH-ZXK actually looks like this now...
