I'd have to agree Todd.
I'll happily admit I really was disappointed with it when I first saw pictures, as opposed to the other three (or four including OJB). But in flesh it is quite impressive.

Is there any word on when the A333 will sport the new livery? The first aircraft was delivered in 2003, surely a C or D check will be coming up soon.
Or will they get painted when the new cabin is installed?

Joseph, I have heard they will get the same treatment as VH-OJA. But that could be up in the air given the current situation.

Hi All,

I have just herd from another forum that VXB is off for Re-Spray into STD Qantas Livery.

Is that correct? Does this mean that VXB will be sold soon? Is any other a/c taking on VXB livery?

Please advise

Stuart

Hahaha nice one Damian.

Stuart according to flight radar she is still flying in current colours and in en route from MEL-BNE QF620.

I wouldn't be surprised if she is reprinted into standard livery like he sisters soon enough.

Got an awesome shot of VXB landing on 16 last night, when waiting for the Etihad 77W. She ain't that old; QFA keep their aircraft until they are only fit for the tuna cannery, so I sincerely doubt the reliability of the 'other' forum.
Just my 2c worth - you can't always believe what you read on the WWW.

If it is being painted into corporate livery why would they then sell it? The a/c would now be pushing 12 years old, so would be due for a respray just like her similar aged sisters are now getting.
