Not so much a pseudonym as the company whos currently got hold of it

Southern Cross Aviation do the deliveries/ferries for ANZ. So likely has a couple of pilots from them and an engineer

Keep an eye on it, it could come down our way instead of AKL

2100 hrs ZK-MVF arrived Brisbane .

Two photos of it arriving into Brisbane on the YBBN spotters blog. Livery looks good on it, IMHO it is better then the Virgin Australia livery.

If FA is correct, inbound to CHC direct later today

ANZ846 Syney to Wellington extreme routing! I haven't seen a deviation like this for some time.

VOZ144 Sydney to Auckland is on the standard track and departed an hour later!

I was just about to post the same screenshot!

Mate just alerted me to it. WLG showing over an hr delay too. Its almost like it got sent out of standard control routes

[YSWG]

Not seeing any significant weather (only thunderstorms up around Brisbane and Grafton) at 11am (9am AEDT), unless there was turbulence reported or forecasted at the time ANZ846 departed.

Flightaware posted a departure of 1410 AEST sand srrival time in NZCh 0122 NZEST. It had been scheduled to depart YBBN at 1200AEST. Don't think I shall be watching that late, but nice to know it is on the way to Christchurch.

Its almost like it got sent out of standard control routes

It's almost like it had to stay within 60 minutes of a runway.

Now looks as if SXI 1503 (ZK-MVF) is scheduled to leave BNE at 1700 AEST 20th Jan---Arrive Christchurch at 0158 NZDT ; that was some delay!

[Oblivian]

It's almost like it had to stay within 60 minutes of a runway.

The thought had crossed my mind. But figured if it was the case due to a fault Lorde Howe might be a bit small anyway, and it would likely have gone to AKL asap to sort anything out.

[Matt_R]

Lord Howe would be too small, but OOL-NLK-AKL works for etops60.

ZK-MVF left Brisbane at 1925 NZDT , finally! 5 hour flight .

[BPO]

You should be seeing a Google Loon on your screens tonight or tomorrow. Was going around 81 km/h over the SE of Victoria yesterday.

Here she be...
