Lining up on runway 03 at 1:00 pm, operating a relief flight to Bali as VA9571 to pick up passengers stranded by the eruption of Mount Raung.
All Virgin services to Bali are normally flown by 737-800’s, so it is likely this will be a one-off, making it the second only international destination for Virgin’s A330’s.

This aircraft has recently been converted from a standard Grand Caravan to a Texas Turbine Conversions Supervan 900, where the previous Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-114A is replaced by a Honeywell TPE331-12JR engine, and the 3-bladed prop is replaced by a 4-bladed prop. This conversion delivers a 40% reduction in takeoff distance, improved rate of climb, 14 knots faster on the same fuel burn (or 14% less fuel at the same airspeed), 7000 hour time between overhauls (compared to 3600 hours with the original engine), and a lower hourly operating cost. The aircraft is converted for geophysical survey.

These two Ospreys, callsigns DRAGON 01 and DRAGON 02 flew from USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) on a medevac flight to drop off a sailor who was ill. They arrived just before 3pm, did not refuel and only stayed a few minutes. The ship had departed Fremantle the previous day after a port visit and was on its way to take part in Exercise Talisman Sabre 2015 off Darwin and Central Queensland.
