RIP to the aircraft

Most of the VH-QP* bank would be due for the second heavy check around about now, have they started these yet?

VH-QPB is now at 6.5wks at QPG so I assume a heavy check and no near term retirement. Will be interesting to see if it comes out with a hump given previous suggestions that QPA-D may not get Wifi.

QPA also now at QPG for a bit over a week.

Well I hope they do- but if they don’t… possible early retirement??

2027 is coming, wifi should have been installed a long time ago, if only Alan invested in product back in the day.

He did, it’s just that he wore orange blinkers

Noticed that VH-EBB was scheduled to turn around in MNL last night after operating QF97 but the return flight QF98 was cancelled

The sister ship EBC had retired, which means this is another very old aircraft as well

Old. Yes. Butt equally just had a heavy check, which should make it more reliable at least in the short term.

Noticed that VH-EBS is scheduled to operate QF41 to CGK today but is delayed over 3 hours (can't be volcanic ash cloud?)
