I wasn't being serious.I would have to assume that the tail and wing section paintings may have to do with the placement of staff/equipment that can better paint those parts of the plane.

SE-REH is having it's third flight right now. It's not listed as customer acceptance test, but it could very well be in which case the bird could arrive in CPH, OSL or ARN tomorrow.

According to this site https://aibfamily.flights/production-list/A330 SE-REH is currently doing the customer acceptance flight. With a little luck we have seen LN-RKP in the air for the last time.

That LN-RKP is still around is not surprising I think.
According to multiple SAS employees the plan is to replace the old lady in August.
SE-REH did the second customer acceptance flight yesterday.
If there weren't any problems delivery could take place sometime next week.
I think that the first revenue flight will then be in late July/early August.
But that's just a guesstimate.

SE-REH has been on quite a number of test flights, so something must have been wrong with it.
SK normally puts new birds into revenue rotation pretty fast SE-ROF arrived at ARN from TLS in the evening on June 27 and had it's first revenue flight on June 29 in the morning. I would assume SE-REH wont spend much longer on the ground before it's put into service.
