The interiors are gross!

I think the new QF B744 interiors are much much better!

QF Y+ also looks better! The V Aust Y+ looks too dark

The tags are PSU lock outs to stop the oxy masks deploying.

They usually lock out most PSU's and just leave a small number enabled to test the system during "C" flights.

Hahaha.... ease up on me Bernie.. sheeesh...

I don't think anyone here as any doubts about my loyalty and commitment to the V Australia cause!! (trumpets play in the background)

In all honesty though. If it weren't for the fact that I'll be driving down to L.A. for a NASCAR race just a few weeks after the VA delivery tour of LAX, I actually would have made the trek down to LAX to catch a glimpse of -VOZ and get some photos for you guys before she touched down in SYD. But doing the 5 hour drive down to LA and then back (that's 5 hours each way) twice in a matter of weeks is bordering on psychotic even for the looney V Australia nutter that I am. Who knows, maybe in a few months I might head down to LA just a weekend vacation and end up seeing a VA bird then... or fly up to SEA and check out a VA bird during the Boeing Factory Tour (if there are any employees left to operate the tour).

And here is a 3D walkthrough from their site

http://www.vaustralia.com.au/apps/va...ugh/index.html

Looks good!

Also it seems Alaskan will be a V partner

& IFE is the RED system which looks pretty similar to Virgin America's
