Yes Greg, the paint around the kangaroo feet looks okay now. Jen Schuld is certainly proving her worth with her updates and fabulous photos and videos from Everett. The media is also using her Twitter posts.
ZNI must be getting some minor work done at the QANTAS maintenance facility at LAX before she heads off to JFK leading up to her flight home on Friday. |

I refer to your post (#477), Dennis where you were surmising the delivery dates of the last three 789s ordered by QANTAS, particularly the 12th aircraft ZNL, which will be needed for the daily flights to Santiago:

I have no idea of the delivery dates of ZNM or ZNN until they appear on the production spreadsheet and I can do some further calculations. I appreciate that this is an approximate calculation and numerous issues could occur that delay production of the aircraft but gives an idea of the 12th 789 delivery date. I have done very conservative estimates and the delivery could be as early as the second or even first week of June, 2020, especially if the delivery rate is higher than 12 - it looks to be more like 12.5 for the first nine months of 2019 or the roll out to delivery time is less than a month, as I have seem for some 787s. |

VH-ZNI is on the way. QF6027 departed PAE at 16.16 PDT 15/10 and arrived at LAX at 18.25 PDT, just over 4 hours ago. Looks like it will be a resident in LAX for a few days.
