Nice video.

Some of the footage of the initial assembly was also used in the SBS doco on B737NG safety I posted on the Dateline B737 warning thread in Flying and technical discussions, obviously standard Boeing footage.

Just noticed, at 0:28, the set of wings that come across the screen actually have the "Virgin Blue" winglets. Anyone know which 737-800 it is?

Sorry for the random fact

Hi Jayden,

i think it may be VH-VUG as right the way through the video you see frame 1948 painted on the fuselage

Yes - pick the obvious mistake!

The airframe in the video is an 800 and Florida 1 is a 700 - but who cares really - it is a good video...

If you look at it when they are moving past the office area it looks like a QF tail passing by as well. I wonder what one that is.

Cheers

Michael
