Hahaha... oh you guys are too much!!

It's probably a good thing that I won't be flying VAustralia now.. otherwise you're right, I might have ended up in hospital with these new photos showing VA's first 77W resuming preparations for delivery!!

Darn, I had -VGA as an acronym for 'Very Gorgeous Aircraft' ... what the hell am I gonna do with -VOZ ? "Very Ozzie" ?

Anyone heard any news on delivery date? Doesn't look it has begun flight testing yet, so I guess we should use that as a good guide. Better NOT be Boxing Day, got the Sydney to Hobart to watch!

VOZ=Very old Zit.

It seems V Australia (VOZ ) is going down the VS route (at least with this one) and using a quirky rego with the "V" followed by a short word e.g. VFAB, VBIG, VHOT, etc. Tougher with only two letters to work with tho

Haha, yeah, it seems to be very difficult with only 2-letters, because here are the following rego's:

C/N 35302 VH-VOZ (was VH-VGA ntu)
C/N 37938 VH-VPD (was VH-VGC ntu)
C/N 37939 VH-VPE (was VH-VGD ntu)
C/N 37940 VH-VPF (was VH-VGE ntu)

Seems like -VOZ was purposely done to sound 'Aussie'..but the following seem to be in standard order.

ahhh...or maybe they are using that one because its their ICAO code?

[Erik H. Bakke]

Or because it happens to be the last one in the VO block, held by DJ?

VOZ is Virgin Blue's ICAO code. VAU is V Australia's code*.


* - according to Wikipedia. Don't know if it's accurate or not.

"parent company's" ICAO

There are various photos of VH-VGA so they have now changed the rego ?
