ZK-PBA should be VH-VOO Bob

[Greg Hyde]

Some of these a/c were first registered in Oz. before being transferred to NZ.

PBA was VOO
PBB was VOP
PBF was VOR
PBG was VUD
PBI was VUH
PBJ was VUB
PBK was VUP
PBL was VUQ
PBM was VUO

Thanks Andrew, that's correct VOO.

Are the VARA aircraft complete yet??

[Alex Ch]

Will these aircraft start to cycle around the whole network (like JQ) or stay on the current flying patterns?

Far from it.

One 50, both A320s and about 4 100s are done, and all of the AT7s of course.

The Blue "cat's bum" paintjob still looks good, with the exception of the 100 I saw in the temporary hangar with a scorched looking fin. APU/eng exhaust issue I guess.

Cheers for that Yusef... are they holding out until those aircraft NEED a paint? Or just being a bit slow!?

[Yusef D]

Honestly I don't know.

Hi,

You will find that the VARA aircraft repainting came to a hault because the mainline VA 737's have been having their repaints in the TSV paint shop.

With only 1 x 737 to go, I would expect to see the F100's and F50's return for repainting too.

[Rowan McKeever]

Makes sense, Steve, thanks. I'm guessing, sensibly, with the last 737 due out fairly shortly, the next repaint might well be one of the first F50s to head across for Qld FIFO duties?
