rumour Vincent getting 2 x 737's

[BNEA320]

just heard a rumour that Vincent (bases in WLG & DRW) are getting two 737's.

Not sure where they are getting them from, but could have a good guess.

[falconx]

I would say you are not far off the mark

[BNEA320]

so what have you heard ?

[falconx]

Been on the cards for months, government associated work...

[BNEA320]

in New Zealand ?

[swh]

Xmas to PNG ?

[BNEA320]

Probably. Think Our Airline are stretched.

[falconx]

Haven't they got a third 73 in the paint shop at John holland?

[BNEA320]

heard that, but also heard 1 of their current 733's is being scrapped as D check due & that costs more than aircraft is worth.

Apparently you can buy a 733 with checks done for bit over a million.

No Boeing 737 shows on the Aircraft Register under Vincent Aviation in Australia or NZ.

[falconx]

Probably because their not on the register yet perhaps?

[Skystar320]

Yes, I've heard the rumours but not of Vincent? I heard its a new organization that are looking at up to three classic 737's to run on RPT / Ad Hoc / Mining work...

ON has 3 B733, INU/NLK/PNI. When I was last in ML 3 weeks ago, PNI was in the JHAS hangar.

Three-letter acronym - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[dodgybrothers]

which one was dropped in the hangar ASY?

[Wally Mk2]

There's still the two "3's" parked Nth of the main apron @PH, couldn't get more 'classic' that that!
Christ they look almost derelict!!

[BNEA320]

they wouldn't be yet, although can't aircraft on NZ register operate domestically in Australia under SAM

[witwiw]

also heard 1 of their current 733's is being scrapped as D check due

you've heard wrong.

[falconx]

Converted to an Airwork freighter isn't it?

[BNEA320]

OUR AIRLINE 3 X 733 AIRCRAFT ?

so does that mean they will have 3 x 733's or is one becoming a freighter ?
