VH-OQJ is now back in service, having flown QF11 SYD-LAX yesterday. That was its first flight since 29 August.

With 5 A380s now in service that should hopefully improve the reliability of service on QF1/2 and QF11/12.

I kinda figured they would rotate another out for wing checks though?

The other four A380s appear to still currently be in service, but that is possible.

VH-OQH has been out doing what looks like a test flight today.

Test flight was obviously successful as VH-OQH just took of on QF1 to SIN.

VH-OQJ doing a test over Sydney too, just returned from a loop past Bowral. Thought it was unusual to have a QF A380 overhead this time of day.
