I'm guessing painted in Azur and still registered as VOZ?

I would guess so too. Hopefully a Turkish spotter snaps a pic.

VQ-BTK will be the new rego, not surprised she is back in service, a little bit more attractive than the rest of the fleet as she has the large cargo door option.

Oh yeah? so the others will probably rot away in WTB and VCV?

VH-VUR is currently performing its test flight out to sea from BNE as VA9928 and is currently at 15,000 feet. What was a planned 42 minute flight will be over 2 hours by the time it touches down. The B738 climbed to and remained at 40,000 feet but has had some lengthy speed variations at and between 300 and 550 knots during the flight.

It looks as though VUR did a go around on very short final for runway 19L at BNE, followed by a tight circuit to land on 19L. Not sure if this was part of the test flight or an ATC directive. The flight was just over two and a half hours.
