SQ bird on fire at Changi

[9V-SPL]

Great to hear about this as well. I have a feeling SWB will definitely be in for an air test before going back into revenue service as whatever configuration. That's what happened to SWF after a mechanical problem back in March. Also did an air test.

She is indeed scheduled for an air-test tomorrow early afternoon as SQ8877.

Awaiting Whisky Bravo's AT appearance on FR24!

Air test has been postponed till tommorrow (10-11-16) at 1400hrs.

Actually, on my fr24 app, SWB is probably about to do an air test, showing up. But I believe you if that's the case and you have more knowledge of this.

[banx007]

Hhmmm, can't be? My computer system at work show the departure time and date as 10/11/16.

I'm not talking about the date. I get you mean by day-month-year, I was saying I did see SWB pop up on fr24, thinking it would do an air test. But anyway, I said I believe you on that because you have this info. Moreover, I'm happy to know SWB did not get written off for SND, thank goodness.

[banx007]

No worries, i will try to post photos of the aircraft once the aircraft is back online.

iCargo states that 9V-SWB is scheduled to operate SQ8/11 (via ICN, via NRT). I'm not going to act like a skeptic like I did with SWA, but I will happily assume it's fitted as a 77WR.

Hoping for more eventual second-hand evidence of SWB's fittings, such as any new Wifi, or if there's a hump on the top of 2nd door. Also happy to know we have SWB (Sierra Whiskey Bravo) and SNB (Sierra November Bravo) as 77WR.

iCargo says 3PM departure actually for 8877 then will do SQ8.

If it is indeed SWB (subject to change of course), then yes SWB is now a 77WR.

Looks like extremely strong evidence to me. I can't see a day where any LAX flight has been swapped with a 3-class 77W (2006 or 2013). But I will take your word for it. Thanks!

[9V-SPL]

I think at the moment, it is 9V-SWO that is scheduled to operate SQ8|11NOV.

Yes you are right, things do change. Thanks for the update 9V-SPL and banx007

[zilchster]

I'll be on SQ 8 this morning.
