There hasn't been any discussion about this but are there any repaints for the Carenado Saab 340 out there in the standard REX livery? Except that unrealistic paint of VH-RXP with the blue engine cowls that ship with the aircraft. I have heard of some on OZx but the site went down for several months already and are nowhere to be seen.

Thanks guys. NOTE: this is posted on the VATNZ forums as well: http://www.vatnz.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4494&p=21382
Also, you guys can bring the Qantas 767s back from the dead and accompany the Air New Zealand 767s on a final journey as well, to show some ANZAC, VATPAC-VATNZ etc. style union, despite the 767s of Air New Zealand lasting longer in service than the Qantas 767s.

.....we will host this event on the same day.....
Given this has been posted in other events, I'm curious.....who is "we"?
Myself and the VATNZ events team if they're gonna collaborate. As this event is happening in VATPAC airspace and VATNZ airspace, I posted both here and on the VATNZ forums.

Air New Zealand 767 - One Final Journey
The Boeing 767 has been loved dearly by many aviation enthusiasts around New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world for the past 32 years it has been in service with Air New Zealand starting with the -200ER series in 1985 then followed by the -300ER series in 1991. The 767 has since carried millions of passengers on many routes, ranging from trans-Tasman flights to long-haul Asia/Hawaii flights and the Auckland-Rarotonga-Los Angeles service.
The final 767 service for Air New Zealand, from Sydney to Auckland as NZ108/ANZ108 will take place on the 31st March 2017. To commemorate this, we will host this event on the same day, from 5pm AEDT (0600z) to 10pm AEDT (1100z) minutes after the scheduled arrival of the last 767 flight in the real world. The Sydney-Auckland route is usually served with 777s, 787s, the 767 and A320s, but we will be taking the 767 for one last flight after 32 years of graceful service.

I just saw this today, Richard was a great lad to have a talk over the radio and a great colleague to control with. His sense of humor was like no other and was a classic Aussie bloke to be around when operating on the western side of the Tasman.
Rest in peace mate, climb unrestricted, control and identification terminated, frequency change approved.
