KS Ong 1 Report post Posted January 16, 2020 Ex Malaysia Airlines B777, 9M-MRP, was in Zimbabwe Airways livery in 2017. However, the triple is now painted in all-white, with registration Z-RGM. She went for a test flight on 16/Jan for about an hour. Probably going to be delivered soon to Harare after the much hype scandal in 2017. It is sad that the livery is gone for good. In her former livery, back in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KS Ong 1 Report post Posted May 30, 2020 After these 3+ months of spotting hiatus, finally get to spot. Raya Airways has acquired this N741AX, former Amerijet International. She will be registered into 9M-RXB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KS Ong 1 Report post Posted June 28, 2020 Departed 0630 this morning to Bangkok. Like her other old IL76s sisters, they need to spool up their engines for about a minute. So we had a minute where the plane 'stood' still instead of doing a rolling take off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted June 28, 2020 Good grief! King Spotter at it again! I think they need about 4 mins to get the engines up to operating temperature and stabilised. Very nice catch, KS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they need about 4 mins to get the engines up to operating temperature and stabilised. Very nice catch, KS! This particular one doesn't need that 4 mins. Just a min and went off. Maybe the old engines have been 'upgraded/overhauled/modified.' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KS Ong 1 Report post Posted August 18, 2020 This 'newly' acquired B772, formerly 9M-MRQ, by Air Zimbabwe, Z-NBE, departed today at about 0925 to Harare. However, she made an ATB after passing the Sumatra island and landed back at SZB at 1100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 I wonder why the plane turned back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2020 such a route requires ETOPS or now known as EDTO. Probably, a malfunction that does not permits entering EDTO segment. Hence the return to SZB. I am just making assumption . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raya Airways has recently retired its Boeing 757 from its fleet. Here is the final landing with a commercial payload - its final rotation was SZB-KCH-BKI-KCH-SZB. New to the fleet is this Boeing 767-200F - it is likely that this was brought in to replace the 757. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
