Rumour to have engine mount issues.

[Oliver Gigacz]

First flight still scheduled for November 13th?

Is it known if the airline is planning any mementos for passengers on either of the first flights on November 13, or will fanfare be quite minimal? Just a water canon salute perhaps?

Any idea when VKB is due for it's first flight ?

The engine mounts must have held up alright.

It arrived and departed today from the international terminal.

It flew over my house in Melbourne yesterday around 6pm. I am booked on the first flight next Wednesday to OOL.
