Qantas 787

[James Smith]

Would have liked Qantas to have kept an old rego block, such as VH-OG* (767's) or VH-TJ* (734s).

Yes I agree Jacob. Even older registration blocks such as VH-EA*, VH-EC*, VH-ED*, VH-TA*, VH-TB* would have been iconic for a new step change aircraft such as the 787-9.

It is all VH-X**, VH-Y** & VH-Z** now as other aircraft have been allocated the old blocks. I wonder when Australia will go to four digit registrations such as V-HEAA or VH-*EAA?

Registration marks can only be reserved for 12 months now, so I dont think Qantas had much choice in the matter. The ZX marks are now mostly AW139s with Hunter Rescue, so they are being recycled quick.

I am just watching VH-TJJ flying around Sydney as Rescu 207 which is an Agusta Westland AW139 helicopter.
