VH-VOB - Jetstar Airbus A320-232(SL) did a 2 hour F1 flight on 26/6


Funny that Jetstar is using the same registration block as Virgin Australia is using. VH-VOB was a 737-800 which lease expired in early 2012 with VA

There is another one parked on the fence as well, which is believed to be VHXUI, however the XFW spotter site does also identify a potential 9V bird which could be it...
