[phil.l]

Thanks Lloyd.

[Damian N]

Anyone seen any photos of BZG? Wouldnt be suprised if it had a new/different livery?

[Jayden Laing]

Damien,
As of yet, Borghetti hasn't yet announced a new livery for the "new" Virgin Blue so my best bet would be that it will be in the current all red livery.

[Damian N]

Thanks Jayden I realise no new name/livery has been announced by JB, but there are so many hints and rumours around that it can't be too far away. A new livery is often "unveiled".... with the proposed changes in cabin lay-out etc thought a new arrival might be perfect opportunity...especially if aircraft hasn't been photo'ed yet might mean it is being kept as much out-of-view as possible...

Landed at BNE 10 mins ago.

[Jack B]

I find it strange seeing a DJ 737 without the -VO*/VU* prefix!

[Damian N]

Photo'd....so no new livery this time! Next time maybe??:rolleyes:

[Jayden Laing]

Or maybe on DJ's 10th birthday Damien, on the 31st August ;). Next 2 deliveries arent due until mid September

Hi All,

Here is a picture captured by fellow spotter Brian Pine who was with me in Nadi when it passed through, a big thanks to the staff who allowed him onto the balcony at Nadi to get it.

Regards

[Stuart Trevena]

Hi All,

Stuart

[Lee G]

Inbound to SYD again at this time FL400 NE of Central Coast - look like it is overflying at FL400

[Brandon Giacomin]

Was operating DJ1126 CFS-MEL

[Stefan Perkas]

Afternoon all,

VH-BZG just made its maiden appearance into Adelaide. It operated DJ223-224 MEL-ADL-MEL.

[Michael Mak]

Does it have Live2Air fitted?

[Jayden Laing]

No well not since the last time I looked. None of the new ones have live2air fitted. I think from memory, VUR onwards to BZG don't have live2air. Same with the EJets, none of them have it either.

[Zac M]

VUN is the last one that was fitted
