XFA is flying MEL-SYD-ADL-MEL tomo

MEL/SYD 0915/1040

SYD/ADL 1400/1535

ADL/MEL 1550/1745

Will then be doing various flights over the next few weeks on training flights visiting MEL/SYD/ADL/PER and maybe BNE.

CHCs paint facility is 737 size, and I get the feeling thats only just aswell. NZ has/had a painting facility at Richmond that did the 767's (pretty sure anyway)

I highly doubt the only space that would be A330 size would be used for painting.

Richmond is B767 only. I am not sure if the A332 will be able to fit.

Just saw VH-XFA fly past my house on its way east. didn't get a chance to see it at the airport, but you cant miss a large white plane in our gorgeous blue skies over here in Adelaide today.
