VH-ZNK as BOE279 completed a second flight from Paine Field to Moses Lake and return, however unlike previous Qantas 787-9 C1 flights it did not touch down at MWH.
FlightAware has an incomplete later BOE279 flight by an unidentified aircraft, while FlightRadar24 has a full PAE-PAE flight, but again an unidentified aircraft, with the whole flight being under 10,000' ??? Was second flight VH-ZNK, and if so were these C1 / C2 or B2 / B3 ??? |

VH-ZNK is now showing on the Boeing spreadsheet as ready for delivery.
It is a pity that the delivery flight will be from JFK again as it would have been great to see the 787-9 fly non stop from Rio de Janeiro, for example, which was shown on the Project Sunrise map of potential destinations from the east coast of Australia.

FlightRadar24 has now been updated to show the short (29 minute) 2nd flight of BOE279 on the afternoon of the 9th, as being a 789 so with the Boeing spreadsheet update, a C2 flight for VH-ZNK. FlightAware still shows an incomplete track for this second flight.

Does anyone know what is wrong with ZNJ? Looks like QF9 has been either delayed or cancelled the last two days & appears to be because of ZNJ out of action

Several pictures of ZNK on the 9/12 in heavy fog
https://twitter.com/propandkerosene Reporting it as a 2nd flight which means that is B2 or C1. |

Checking back through the tweets, actually reporting 2nd flight for the day : so C1 & C2 [see also earlier posts this page]

If ZNJ continues to be unavailable, then more of the same. There certainly seem to be issues with ZNJ - it took over the HKG route immediately after the 2nd Project Sunrise flight when ZND went to Melbourne Maintenance. Did 10 HKG rotations through either SYD or MEL (mostly MEL) - all flights of less than 10 hours duration, then 7 days in Melbourne Maintenance. Followed this by 7 days MEL-HKG-MEL, and now another (at least) two days in Melbourne Maintenance. Also begs the question, was the ZND move to LAX Maintenance made to free up space for ZNJ in Melbourne? |

Perhaps the maintenance issue with ZNJ on its pre delivery flight from PAE to LAX was a little more than “ raised carpet” ? .

Could also explain why ZNK spent so much time in Pre-Flight ?
