The "787 Sheets" have finally been updated - with ZNL out in Pre Flight Prep, and ZNM shown as Parts Arriving ... 787 Current Production

First sight of VH-ZNM (line 1035) in Fuel Dock at Everett on 23rd - spreadsheet indicates a roll out on 21st ...

With line 1005 being first Everett 787 to go to Victorville (VCV) last week, are the last three Qantas 787-9s likely to head that way, to join the A380s ?

On 2nd August, Gulf Air 787-9 A9C-FI (line 1039) is visible at the back end of the line-up in the Fuel Dock...

If the spreadsheets were up to date, VH-ZNN (line 1051) would now be shown as "Parts Arriving"

Bloomberg reported last week that Boeing was having a storage problem at Paine Field with more aircraft produced then delivered.

None of the QF birds have flown as yet.

I have found an article in Executive Traveller regarding QANTAS sending a majority of their B789s to Victorville. I haven't seen this reported anywhere else up to now.

Quote:
But from September, Qantas says most of the 11-strong Boeing 787 fleet will make their way to the Victorville's Southern California Logistics Airport, where they'll join the Qantas Airbus A380s, and over 200 other jets from airlines around the world in waiting out the worst of the travel-crippling storm.
Link to the full article:

There is no reference to storage of the three B789s in Everett or the Jetstar B788s.

It is interesting that none of the new B789s have added to the register.

In the past they added as a block or days before their first flight.

When the aircraft is added to the register the aircraft has essentially been handed over to the airline. The aircraft are owned by Boeing and are registered to Boeing at the moment.

VH-ZNL was moved to the compass rose on 22nd - possibly a sign of things to come

With the Payne Field blog revealing that 787 line 1047 was rolled out late on 25th, VH-ZNN will have moved up to P3
Air Premia 787-9 line 1047

The Google 787 spreadsheet has been updated to show VH-ZNN line 1051 in Position 4 with roll out tomorrow - 3rd.
