V-Australia

[john roe]

Correct me if im wrong, I think this is the first V-Australia AC coming into Perth from East Coast, Rego VH-VPF B77W, 1125.

 

EDIT, in fact it has over flown YPPH, do not where it is from or going too, any one can enlighten me please.

 

Edit, At this point it seems to be a weekly service from Mel depart 1100 Sat and return Sun 1800 from Jbg

This was the inaugural V Australia flight from Melbourne to Johannesbourg. It currently operates a twice weekly schedule.

 

MEL-JNB Depart 1100 Arrive 1715 Saturday and Tuesday

 

JNB-MEL Depart 1930 Arrive 1800+1

 

I guess we could add this to the high flyer schedule. I am just guessing but I would say that due to ETOPS regulations this flight will pass close to Perth, unlike the QF flights that usually pass a long way south.

 

A quick calculation would put the flight over Perth at around 1130 on Saturday and Tuesday with the return flight passing over on Sunday and Wednesday at around 1200.

Thanks very much "Adam" for the heads up there, i roughly calculated it partly out as you will see below, but glad you worked it out better, I calculated that its a hour time diff from Syd and Mel to Perth, on the time difference, so have entered it roughly in High Flyers Schedule and will re up date it with your great info update, thankyou very much for that. Todays flight was roughly about 1130 when it crossed here. which was surprise to me.
