Interesting the mid door is used rather than the front left.

0930 (local) update, a/c now at the terminal being prepped for the 11am departure. The weather is starting to get pretty ugly but if it takes off on time I should be able to get some more pics.

Some more pics. Unfortunately resolution is limited as I'm using the app..

DGW, thanks for sharing the pics. (Don't worry about the resolution when it's an unexpected grab shot)

I love how the wings "curl" as the a/c gets to takeoff.

I read a report it will be in Cairns on 21st, must be a promo flight as OZ certification would take a while.

What is best guess for a JQ 787 on SYD/HNL/SYD sector, have tickets for mid May, hoping.

VH-VKB is now only 45 minutes out of Melbourne

I wonder if we'll see VKD before the year's out?
