VCV on the flight status page for incoming flight; maintenance flight?
This is the flight status page for the incoming flight for a flight tomorrow. It shows no waitlist and no incoming flight information. Apparently VCV is some airport in southern California. Is it a maintenance shop?

VCV as you may know is Victorville CA
Current home to many retired aircraft, storage for many Boeing MAX aircraft that can't fly and it is also where some maintenance etc, is done on aircraft.

I believe it's wifi installation that is being done in VCV?

Surprised AC has spare capacity to take aircraft out of the schedule for non-essential items like Wi-Fi installation or paint. Unless these slots have been held and deposits paid prior to the -MAX debacle.

Regarding going out of service for WiFi installs, I think canadiancow is just lobbying the right people at AC.
I didn't think wifi was at VCV, but my only information on that came from FT.
