YFE, YFH and YFJ would make sense - they are still in-country (WTB)

Interesting comment about the Virgin sky interior B738s, Steve. Do all the YF*, YI*, YV* & YW* aircraft have this lighting feature and none of the VB*, VO*, VU* aircraft?

All of the Y**'s have sky interior, while none of the V**'s have it.

Reading elsewhere that VH-VFN will be the first to come back, and will be registered VH-YQM. Should depart Goodyear on Saturday.

I agree, Tristan. 2-VYFN is the only one, so far, to have had a test flight. Pity that the five wont all come back 15 minutes apart, like they departed.

YFN to become YQM
YFQ to become YQO
YFP to become YQR
YFG to become YQG
YFI to become YQH

VUI and VUJ will not return

Jets parked in WTB will also return

2-HVUR is no longer in WTB, it departed in the early hours of this morning, landing in DRW. It is due to depart DRW soon for SIN.

Is 2-HVUR returning to lessor from WTB or perhaps going to SIN for maintenance? Could it be one of the two additional B738s destined for REX by June, 2021?
