Well there is a bit of news this week. MSN027 (F-WWSY) the fifth for Qantas has come back out of the hangers after going in to have its emerency slides installed and should start engine tests today and then make its first flight within the next 7-14 days.

MSN029 (F-WWSA) the sixth for Qantas has been outside since it came out of the FAL in mid February. We have since found out that when MSN027 and MSN029 were in the FAL they switched tails with MSN027s tail going on MSN029 and vise versa. This was due to a hail strike last year and cause damage to the tail. This is why it has been marked in black in some areas.
