Im not doubting you Ken but last I heard was that they were having difficulty with some type of sensor around the engine intake. Looking at a possible replacement of the sensors which would take up to 2 months.

Do you know more?

Jayden, is this issue happening on all 3 aircraft?

Hope it isn't on the 24th, if it is hope its early in the morning! I hate to say it but I hope they are delayed

Cant remember Shayne, possibly. If the sensors needed replacing, it was going to be a wait of up to 2 months as the parts needed to be sourced & fitted to each engine.

Word is an inspection will be done this week and the first aircraft could be flown out as early as next weekend (22/10).

That sounds good, please keep us updated if possible, I'd definitely be keen on heading up to Richmond to see them depart.
