Default Satellites on Virgin Blue
hey guys, can you tell me which virgin blue aircraft have the satelite dishes installed?

I took a shot of one on 16L today at about 11.45am, but was in the car and not able to pick up the rego.

almost if not all 737's and 738's have these installed for the Live2Air IFE system.

They are not installed on Virgins E-Jets.

Isn't VH-VUO the only one without it now?

I would not expect the E-Jets to be fitted considering the product is a both unreliable and a loss-maker for Virgin.
