As this post goes to air the first RNZAF Texan II, N2824B as "Classic 170" will be touching down on runway 15 at Cairns and flowing about 10mins behind the is second aircraft, N2826B as "Classic 177".
Be certain to check out Far North Queensland Skies at http://fnqskies.blogspot.co.nz/ in the next couple of hours for photo coverage of their arrival at Cairns this afternoon.
It is understood the two aircraft will make their way to Brisbane tomorrow, reverting to what would appear to be the original planned ferry route which will see the duo cross the Tasman Sea via Norfolk Island and are now expected to arrive in Whenuapai this coming Monday!
