Default 3rd PAL 77W

International delivery but relevant for us..

B777-3F6ER RP-C7775 scheduled to be delivered to Philippine Airlines on 20th June local time.

With the addition of this aircraft PAL will return to Australia with the B77W as mentioned in another thread at the end of the month.

VH-XFE is due in MEL at about 2215 this evening (apparently direct from TLS according to FlightAware). It is currently cruising at FL410 near the border of SA and NSW.
