YFC - 26/2/21, YFH - 11/8/21, YFE - 21/9/21, YFJ - yet to resume service, YVA - 18/12/20 returned from Tiger, VUI & VUJ - yet to resume service, VUE - 6/4/21, VUR - 19/6/21, VUW - 16/3/21, VUX - 1/9/21 returned from Tiger, VUY - 8/7/21

ACG moved an A320neo to CEG yesterday for painting, wonder if we will see N343CG emerge shortly

Hopefully they do a better job on her than was done on IWQ in Townsville...

They did the bare minimum. Repainted the nose, tail, engines and winglets. The middle just had the Silk Air titles removed and Virgin Australia title applied.
I guess because they wanted to get it into service quickly and will want to worry more about the interior than the exterior.
(Apologies but I can't find any public photos)
