Guest Chainsaw Posted March 4, 2011 Posted March 4, 2011 Should be in Melb within the hour. Delivery flight.
Pete777 Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Affirm. It sat on the freight area (Golf 4) most of the day, then towed down to JHA sheds. unfortunately it wasn't the star attraction of the day, we had a overnight visitor that stayed till late arvo, a B1.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Hey guys. I seen the B1 at the Airshow, really cool aircraft especially the after burners during the Boeing Friday Night Alight show! Does anyone know if the new A330 for Virgin Blue will have the same livery as the B737's and E-Jets or the new livery that Virgin Blue has been talking about?
Guest Chainsaw Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Dan, My understanding is that it will stay white until the new colour scheme is announced. I don't think we will have to wait too long.
Mattie Cribb Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Is This A330 a Brand newy or been taken off another airline?
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 From memory it's from another airline but I can't think for the life of me who it was! It's a Sunday, too tired to think! lol
Mattie Cribb Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Haha na its ok understandable i hear you were at the airshow friday night i was there friday but i left at 630 i think was way to tired to stay anylonger haha and it way Tooo COLD!!
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Ohh that's a shame mate, you left way too early! It was awesome once it started to get dark!!!
Mattie Cribb Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Haha yeah i wish there was more Civil jets tho was a lil annoying but wasnt a bad airshow tho Trade day was good Freebies!!! haha
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 LOL. That was something I didn't get, Freebies! I thought that Qantas and some other airlines would have some planes there??? There wasn't anything relating to airlines in the trade halls either that I could see.
Mattie Cribb Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Na wasnt much airline stuff at all the only airlines i saw was JQ,TWG Sharp airlines (Wooo Go Sharp) haha and qantas B744 which was doing test runs in the morning wasnt part of the airshow haha
Guest Chainsaw Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 ex Emirates A6-EAB Airbus A330-243. Originally delivered 2000-11-30 Next will be ex A6-EAC
Guest David C Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Saw the B1, KC135, Iron Maiden 757 , at MEL but no DJ A330 .. Also spotted a military Corporate GA550 with the " United States of America " scheme at the GA bay at SYD around 2130 hrs on Saturday on return from MEL . Dave C
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 You've gotta love the when the Airshow is in town. Plenty of Planes in town.
Pete777 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 We had 3 KC-135's at MEL - Utah, Sioux City & Mac Dill. Mac Dill is still with us. The USAF GA 550 (10065) was with us. We also had the guys from Dassualt Falcon come in, in their corporate jet - N748FJ. Virgin keep dragging the A330 up to the freight apron playing with it then dragging it back down to the JHA shed. The new Embrear was with us over the weekend as well, in front of the VB sheds. We did also have the Malaysian PM's nice A319 (9M-NAA) in last Friday.
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 If I get this job at Virgin Blue it might be the plane that I will be doing my training on.
Guest Chainsaw Posted March 28, 2011 Posted March 28, 2011 XFA is on the move, looks like heading to Sydney, just near Wangaratta now. I suggest this is the first of the test flights.
cavalier Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 Just a thought but is it possibly going to be painted in AFL livery like some of the Boeing 737's & used for perhaps the teams & fans to use in the West.I happened to get a few photos of one in Sydney a couple of weeks ago,I will put them up in my photo's when I get time.
Guest Chainsaw Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I some how doubt it. Time is drawing nearer to the official release of the new scheme. I think that VB will do some more proving flights then fly her to NZ for the paint job. I don't think there is a paint shop in oz that can do the job on an A330. Richmond NSW has a NZ paint shop for B767's, but I don't think an A330 will fit in there. Mind you I'm just guessing.
Guest Chainsaw Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 On her way to Sydney as VOZ9063. Just near Naranderra NSW heading 088 deg
Uncle Chop Chop Posted March 31, 2011 Posted March 31, 2011 I watched the girl lift off. Only used about 400 meters of runway. I can't wait for the release for the new color scheme!
cavalier Posted April 3, 2011 Posted April 3, 2011 Hi Guys/Gals Virgins new A330 left Adelaide at about 6.50 pm,I only had the mobile phone so the photo's I took my be a bit grainy.I won't be court out again with out a camera in the car
