The
last flight to depart the Temporary International Terminal at
Boronia Road was Boeing 737-376 VH-TJC operating Solair flight
IE701 to HIR with 114 passengers. The registration of the aircraft
was previously shown as subject to confirmation. This confirmation
has come from Captain Maurice Ritchie who was in command of
the flight. After 1.4 hours airborne, the aircraft turned back
with a technical issue. The aircraft departed again for HIR
at 2011 local. Thanks to Maurice Ritchie for a definitive resolution
of this event. |

"Squawk
Ident" has undergone a major update. The "Frames" version has
been laid to rest and replaced with a new main menu. The most
significant change is on the "Index" page which now has greatly
enhanced functionality. The dates are now linked to the relevant
event on the chronology pages and an alphabetical menu now appears
at the top of the index. Each section of the index also has
an "Up" arrow to speed return to the top of the index to facilitate
further selections. Event dates on this "Updates" page are also
linked to the chronology pages. |
