8IB has been caught up in Boeing/Spirit Aerospace's latest snafu with rivet holes in the rear pressure bulkhead. It won't arrive until at least November.

8IC expected mid September.

VA scrambling to find wet leasing from Alliance/Airnorth.

VH-8IC was spotted in Renton in full faint and named "Kirra Beach"

(Thanks to hi-def image & a lot of zooming)

8IB flight on 04/09/23 is actually classed as a first flight.
As far as I'm aware it hasn't had a customer acceptance flight as yet.

8IC is yet to fly.
