and I'm guessing the aircraft might be named 'dreamtime', as it could be a piece of art from The Dreamtime.

As its a new year, I thought that it would be appropriate to start a new thread.
Refer to the following link for the last thread
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=593773&p=20039277#p20039277
To start off in this thread I thought it would be an ideal time to preview what is ahead for 787 Production/Delivery in 2018
During the course of 2018 based on a production of 12 per month we should see 144 787's produced and delivered plus the 3 787-10's which are currently being used at test frames, so a total of 147 787's are planned for delivery.
The first delivery of the 787-10 to Singapore Airlines is expected in late March, of course that is provided that the aircraft is certified in time
During the course of the year we will see 10 787-8's, 121 787-9's and and 16 787-10's delivered. From PAE we will see 80 787's produced and delivered (10 787-8's and 70 787-9's) while from CHS we will see 67 787's produced and delivered (51 787-9's and 16 787-10's)
This year we will see 8 airlines become a new operator of the 787 while another 6 airlines will take delivery of a new type of 787.
The new operators of the 787 in 2018 are
AIr Tahiti Nui (787-9)

RR engine issues, not end of lease. Many similar 787's are down for same, eg VS.

Then why would it be sent to VCV, instead of stayng at SCL, if it's just related to the RR engine issues? I haven't heard/read of any others going to VCV for this!

Closer to an RR MRO than SCL?
No space at SCL to park the frame?
Better weather at VCV if you will park a frame for a while?
