Robert, the last of Kurts' photos shows the name 'Didgeree Blue'.

She was nameless when she arrived, but had the stickers applied before moving from the intl terminal over to the GA.

Thanks Seth; that was sneaky!! Must have had a vote on the flight!!

I'm pretty sure they ran a public competition a while ago to name it....

Was there any reason why it wasn't painted at Boeing?

This is what prompted my question - because it was missing in the earlier photos.

There was also quite a big deal made about the name.

Members of the Yolgnu people, the traditional keepers of the didgeridoo, attended the ceremony yesterday to welcome the plane, dubbed Didgeree Blue. They gave permission for use of the name.
