Haha, yeah, it seems to be very difficult with only 2-letters, because here are the following rego's:

C/N 35302 VH-VOZ (was VH-VGA ntu)
C/N 37938 VH-VPD (was VH-VGC ntu)
C/N 37939 VH-VPE (was VH-VGD ntu)
C/N 37940 VH-VPF (was VH-VGE ntu)

Seems like -VOZ was purposely done to sound 'Aussie'..but the following seem to be in standard order.

ahhh...or maybe they are using that one because its their ICAO code?

Or because it happens to be the last one in the VO block, held by DJ?

VOZ is Virgin Blue's ICAO code. VAU is V Australia's code*.


* - according to Wikipedia. Don't know if it's accurate or not.

"parent company's" ICAO

There are various photos of VH-VGA so they have now changed the rego ?

Then there'll be...

VH-GAL = Get A Life!

That's correct Andrew. When the aircraft first came out of the paintshop it had -VGA rego on, but if you have a real close look at the photo linked on Page 1 of this thread you'll see she is now tagged as VH-VOZ.

Still no word on delivery date for VA's first bird ?

Rego block has been reserved for another aircraft/airline fairly sure its JQ.
