Jump to postANA 787-9 filed ANA9399 PAE-HND. Based on information posted above this is LN1033 JA924A and will be #6 for December #68 for the year.
On a separate note, LN1128 the MIAT Mongolian / Riyadh Air livery has been making a couple of test flights out of CHS as BOE581.
With respect to the discussion above that Emirates five additional 787s are not recorded in November, it is interesting that the conversion of 30 787-9s to 15 787-8s and 15 787-10s has been recorded in November - so presumably when the order for the additional five is confirmed those will be 787-8s ...

Yes, the LATAM 777 was a 777F and had been previously speculated as contributing 1 to the ASC606 count. If all 4 cancelled LATAM 787s were in the 787 ASC606 count earlier, then we should have seen a betterment of the ASC606 count by 4, but the count got better by 2, so it may be that 2 other 787 fra...
