EBQ to Longreach
EBQ is the -238 destined for Longreach, at this point in time.
ECB, as you are probably well aware was disposed of to Marana end of last month, and living up to it's nick-name to the very last ( Eventually Comes Back ), returned to Sydney after #4 engine experienced high vibration leading to an in-flight shutdown about 15 mins after takeoff. Finally departed for Marana around 3.30pm on 29th April.
ECC is due to follow on circa 8th August, and EBS circa 1st November.
There is no shortage of crew's wanting to fly EBQ's last flight.
It is planned to park -EBQ facing the Capricorn Hwy at Longreach, to catch the eye of the passing traffic ( hence passing 'trade' ).
Two hangars need to be dismantled to place the aircraft in position. These will then be re-erected.
Portable steel meshing 'taxiway' may be utilised to permit the aircraft to vacate the runway.
