An Australia day arrival would have been very fitting.

Hey Sarah,
Seeing it is one thing, driving on half a foot of compacted ice is another. At my work we had eight foot snow drifts in December VERY unusual for Seattle and it makes racing for a photo of this 773 impossible unless you leave a week prior

As Scott suggests, the B1 flight keeps getting delayed due to the wx. Maybe tomo.

Hahaha, yes I have been very quiet of late about VA.

I've been pretty busy as I am preparing to migrate to USA. I'll be flying off on Jan. 25th now, and I guess a bit of a consolation is that I've managed to get a seat on an A380 (QF11).
I've been so busy that I haven't even had to time to do a quick photo-trip-report of my trip to USA and back that I did a few weeks ago. Weather was poor in LAX, but I got a few shots of WN's Shamu..and also only a week after it was re-painted I saw Delta's 744! I'll endeavour to at least post some of those for everyone's viewing pleasure.

Finally seeing some new photos of VA's aircraft, I can still say the livery looks great!! Great to finally see things are getting a move along again at PAE (bar the weather up there), but unfortunately I won't be in Australia to see VA's first aircraft be delivered... and believe me, that sucks after all my hype and anticipation (or fanaticism as some of you may call it ).

Okay okay, I doesn't just look 'great'... it looks freakin' awesome!!...and that's with all that dull, gloomy weather putting a damper on the colours and tones of the paintjob. In nice sunlight this thing looks perfect (refering to the first ever photo we saw of this aircraft when it had -VGA as its registration). I know you guys will get some great shots of her when she touches down in Sydney (whenever the hell it'll be now... I've given up trying to pick a date!).
