QF B717 - Mayday
Heard rumour a B717 had a inflight handling problem recently requiring an unscheduled landing in YMML.

Yes, Qantaslink B717's do actually use a QF flight number.

Interestingly, National Jet is still the registered operator of all the B717's in Australia .... but not surprising!

All owned by leasing companies.

The B717's are not QF aeroplanes. They are just painted to look like QF aeroplanes so people will fly in them.

Rumour is that one of their DEC's who came from the A380 panicked when his fuel load dropped below 8,000 kg- Thus the Mayday
