Just had a peek on webtrak it shows a 737 departing for NZCH around 2305 with no extra info. According to ch aviation this is one of the aircraft going to Aerolineas Argentinas shortly so I'd assume if it's heading for Christchurch either end of lease or a maintenance check.

Nothing sinister, and it's not leaving the VA fleet any time soon, it's getting a re-paint too

So will VBK be the first 737-700 in the new livery?

I thought all but two of the 737-700s were leaving the fleet, VBY & Z the exception.

Hi...

When does VBK's lease run out?

It must not be too far off returning to service? If it is painted - I can-t wait to see it...

I wonder if the "Lady Victoria" name will be changed to the name of a beach...

Regards,

Steve S
