.....I'm suprised at this as it does not seem 'best practice' from a safety viewpoint. Although I appreciate there is no law that the plane carry a livery I would have thought the cost in applying some temporary decals (even just the red "Virgin" squiggle on the tail) would be seen as worth in from a safety viewpoint in being more easily able to identify aircraft ground movements.

Caught it on finals for 07 this afternoon and then again on Charlie as it went back out again... nothing great, but it'll do me. It really is... very white.

I noticed on PPRuNe that someone was saying it's not a new livery, just awaiting an AFL livery. Seemed a bit... odd.

I personally think it'll be their new livery however if this new AFL livery does happen then it'll be Virgin Blue's first full body special livery in a while so that would be good.

Hmmm boring. I think I'd rather it stay all white.

Interesting, especially as a rival Airline has a major mural of a competitor code Gold Coast team resplendent on one of their craft
