Hi,

VH-VOP went to Seletar. This is unusual.

Why would it have gone there? Fleet withdrawal?

Thanks.

Maintenance could also include painting in Tiger colors I guess.

YFS was delivered about 2 weeks ago and yet to enter service.

Any idea when she is due to enter service ?

Oh no! What happened to YFS??

Keen spotters may notice YFT's external lighting is different to all other 737s in the country.

I think it might've been VOP that had the tarmac incident, rather than YFS.

Interesting about YFT's lights... have to keep an eye out if she comes to CBR!
