VH-VZF first flight.

[Scott Lindsell]

Qantas' newest 738 just departed RNT a few minutes ago. Still green and flying as 'Boeing 566'.
34200/2989.

[Andrew McLaughlin]

Scott...where have you been? Have sent emails, PMs and tried to call recently without success!

Drop me a line mate!

[Scott Lindsell]

Andrew,
Check your PM's

Hi all,
Can someone inform me about the next batch of QF 738's. Are they heading across the pond? I shot a QF 738 today with the reg VH-VZG 'Sir William Hudson', only to see later the nose gear door and top of tail with the code 'ZQB' not 'VZG'. Assuming it is flying under the Aussie company title until a rereg in NZ after delivery. Looking closer it has an NZ flag on the fuselage too.
Scott.

Scott - the next batch are going direct to Jetconnect. There have been problems with the first ones so there have been a few slight delays.

ZK-ZQA, with ZK-ZQB and ZK-ZQC will start operation during September. The 6 aircraft (to rego ZQF) have PTV's.

Will that mean the end of the -300's and -400's? Or are the new -800's in addition to the existing fleet.

Any tentative updates on their schedules yet. Hope I get to fly on one of them on my return flight from CHC in mid September.

[Lee M]

Jetconnect don't fly to CHC anymore. Only 767's on the SYD-CHC run.

[Ryan N]

Oh bugger.
