Could it be AJ's effort at finding MH370?

Either:

1. Acceptance or proving flight for a new owner or following maint, or

2. Trying to draw a dick and balls on "Flight Radar 24"

Perhaps AJ is "navigating" - it would seem consistent with the direction he is taking the Qantas Group !!


Role on.....

It was flying RPT services only 1.5 days beforehand, can't be much major maintenance done in that time.

Anything with a 6000 flight number is usually a charter flight.

Tagneah's on the money with option 2. And it looks like the pilot used to work on the pearling boats in his youth.....

And the hold SE of Sydney just "tops" the imagery off.

I like how it skilfully avoids the ACT. Wouldn't want to put chemtrails over Canberra.

Not if he's a pearler. He'd have put em there. Be careful when you look up pearling (body modification) on Wikipedia.
