Is the Sunday 9 October 2016 VA9900 (B738 VH-YFE) a special (i.e. charter) or a training flight?
It was airborne from BNE at 0759 AEST; it then flew to near Tarana NSW, did a few circuits, repeated the same via one at Mt Panorama (Bathurst NSW) where the eponymous motor racing is on today and then undertook more circuits slightly to Orange NSW's south, did the same in the Jerilderie area of southwestern NSW and now seems to be about (as at 1308 AEDT) to land in SYD, a more than four hour excursion.
The delays from a very windy MEL continue on the 9 October afternoon, with B738 VH-VOK on VA745, the 1410 hours to OOL, taking off at 1519. Expected arrival is 1615, an hour behind.
