Aircraft Storage at the Alice? A long way to tip a rary.
Could it be that Network E120 Brasillia VH-TWF is the first aircraft to be stored at the Alice Springs Storage Facility? It arrived about 1815CST. Has this aircraft been sitting idle at Perth for a while?

No idea but I can just imagine the compliance drama down your end of the world moving airplanes in/out of the desert.
In the US with FAA Chuck with an A&P and 747 experience in his pickup can service the 747 and sign for a ferry permit, down there you would need to C check it first before it moved I suspect.( what if this what if that, reg this, reg that )
Great location for storage but not the correct regulatory environment. Nothing will come of it, back to Mojave, Roswell and Victorville. Land of the free...

Dont think Forrest the best of spots for a/c storage. Much more moist airflows down near the Bight than at the Alice in the (normally) dry Centre.
Rain records would attest.

Forrest gets the "Mundrabilla Doctor" blow in about 4pm every summers afternoon with cool, moist air and that Nullabor fog that sits in there through the winter isnt ideal for storage either.
Apparently Tigerair are storing some aircraft at the Alice Springs storage facility. 1st aircraft spotted there today. Anyone know if they're Tigerair Australia airframes or one of there overseas cousins? Interesting.....

facicility is up and running. 1 in, 2 coming, and 10 kangaroos to follow!!

For those who think Tigerair Australia are parking aircraft, they might want to check the rego's on the A320's going there.
The one there now is from one of the Asian Tigerair's.
