First Qantas A220 revealed

[RichardMEL]

Given its covered in dot art, I noticed two spotty options - whale shark and quoll.

well, the dot art of the first A220 is already named "Minyma Kutjara Tjukurpa" but I like the link for the spotty ones.

So will they have the English names for those animals or the aboriginal ones, like the dot painted one?

I think both would be a great idea! I personally really like it when they have both so it can help people learn new words.

Young nephew is second from the left. He is crewing her home. He has been writing the training manuals for the cabin crew and got the gig.

Do we have any footage of Qantas' first Bombardier C Series jet landing in Australia? Having flown this bird a couple of times including with Swiss and Air Canada, this will be a major upgrade compared to the 717s and Dash-8 puddle jumpers that service regional routes like SYD > HBA.

Not footage, but found this on Getty images. Looks like a good audience to watch it land on a rainy day. Pictures and Photos - Getty Images

Quite a healthy crowd, the rain was enough to discourage me from driving to the airport today

 

[Harrison_133]

For those interested, the A220 is expected to visit Canberra and Melbourne tomorrow (21/12).

QF6215 SYD 1000 CBR 1055
QF6216 CBR 1155 MEL 1305
QF6217 MEL 1335 CBR 1440

More training flights across the East Coast capitals are also planned.

Who is going to spot it first on AFF

Must have own photo to prove it!

 

[Himeno]

Any reason why YMX-YVR-HNL-NAN was a different flight number then NAN-SYD?
