VH-VKF had it's first flight today. Looks like VKG and VKH aren't far behind.

Yep after the good old 1st of July financial year

Solo One to VKC, can you hear me Shirl?

VH-VKF has been delivered. VKH has done it's first flight (ahead of VKG).

Just got back from Boeing tour. Saw two Jetstar 787's ready for delivery. Not close enough to see regos

VH-VKG is still in production testing so not ready for delivery.
VH-VKH is ready for delivery (and has been for a couple of weeks). Interesting that it has been moved from Charleston where it was built to Everett for delivery. I'm wondering if Jetstar has delayed the delivery for some reason, you would think they'd want to get it over to MEL sooner rather than later.

Yeah sorry, my words. I meant that they were off the production line, in Jetstar colours and sitting outside with the many others.

VH-VKH is now in Australia. VKG looks like it should be delivered in the next week or so.

A330-200 VH-EBC is already in the process of being sent back to Qantas, I'm guessing another one won't be far behind (not sure if the BNE maintenance facility will do two at once).

VH-VKI had her first flight on the 19th December. Currently slated for a late January delivery.

VH-VKJ has been ready for delivery for some time and I'm guessing it may be delivered in the next day so Boeing can count the delivery in June. Also the next route (Melbourne to Narita) is scheduled to go 787 from the 10th July so not a lot of time to go!

VH-VKJ is currently on her delivery flight.

Unconvinced this fits fits the criteria for the meetings and social events thread, so have opted to post here:
For those interested and in Sydney on Nov 30, the local branch of the Royal Aeronautical Society is hosting an evening presentation by David Lau, Jetstar head of engineering, on the introduction and operation of the 787.
