Interestingly still unpainted (bar the tail), so after a B1, onto Portland for painting or Victorville for storage ?

ZNF completed a short (21 minute) systems check flight out of Brisbane this morning. So for that short time there were two 789s airbourne with ZNK enroute LHR-DRW.

Could be why it appears that ZNK is going to turn around in Darwin, and return to LHR later this evening as QF109

It also appears that today's QF111 flight to Delhi has been postponed until tomorrow morning.

Again we have two 789s airborne, as ZNK completes its return to LHR for the last London repatriation flight, while ZNC is now on its way to Delhi for the next Indian repatriation flight.

The newest Qantas 789 : VH-ZNN (still unpainted) was due to complete a B1 flight on 9th as BOE282 with temp rego of N1020K, however it only completed a Taxi Test.

That activity was somewhere between 0500 & 0800 AEDST today.

Repatriation flights ...

ZNC having completed QF 112 from Delhi to Darwin overnight, is now returning to Sydney as a revenue flight QF847. The two previous 789 DRW-SYD flights were as QF6101.

Meanwhile ZND is about ¾ of the way to Johannesburg as QF63.

Peter C · #**878** 11th November 2020, 09:05 PM

There are still two Qantas 789s in the air, as while ZNC has reached Sydney, ZNK is enroute London to Darwin as QF110, and ZND is still about an hour out of Johannesburg.

I wonder if it was a "logo" jet with a special livery that got canceled due to COVID
