00:56The amount of work that was done on this is incredible, staggering.
01:04We just turn up as crew to come and check it, functional check crew and technical pilots
01:09to have a look at it at the end of the huge amount of work that's been done to make sure
01:15this aircraft is in a great condition.
01:16It is in very good condition, probably the best condition when it comes out of this heavy
01:22check.
01:23New landing gear, a lot of components have been taken off and put back on, a lot of
01:28new components so it's in extra conditions, thousands, hundreds of thousands of man hours
01:33have been done.
01:34It's good fun for us to do.
01:35It's a bit out of the ordinary for what we normally do and then from there it had a couple of little
01:42things to tidy up which was good and that was done for our ferry today which we took off
01:47yesterday for the next day in 18 hours and got it here.
01:53The last night and the last night was set up to the second half of the boat.
01:57The first sight was in the middle of an engine and was pushed into the car and used
02:01to bring it in and out to the last half of the boat and went out in the boat.
02:04Now you see it because of the water running and being filled with a whole life almost
02:06in shock, you can see it's good and that's good.
02:08And that's why it's good.
02:09The next day is theses of driving water running for a while.
02:12Now the hour runs to be in front of the boat.
02:15Previously, the number two engine has been replaced.
02:39Now we're going to do number three engine this morning, removing the original cow and
02:44replacing it with a modified one.
02:46So all up currently, there's about 155 hours on this pack.
02:51There's some inbound defects that we will look at and then get that all squared away.
02:56This is the big task, the engine replacement.
02:59The rest of it is just rectifying all the faults that incurred on the way here.
03:04So right now, we'll get this cowl off, continue on the rest of the maintenance in the pack
03:09and yeah, we'll send it on its way.
03:12Getting the aircraft in Victoria was challenging.
03:14Being in the desert, you expect anything.
03:17We had hot, cold, wind, yeah, we had the works.
03:21However, it was a bit of a satisfaction getting this aircraft out after a lot of work that
03:26has been put in it, yeah.
03:28For myself, it's a sense of satisfaction.
03:31For the company, it's a bit of pride.
03:33Everything just falling into place.
03:36The plane right now is in the A380 hangar, the only A380 hangar in North America.
03:45So the aircraft, it's got that very new plane smell.
03:49So it's beautiful, you know, it's a bit of a difference.
04:01So, you know, you've got to see this.
04:13All right.
