...nothing looks good in primer gray over orange.

[The Green Goblin]

Looks far better than the scarebus thats for sure!

The pic looks like it has been done with some software editing program....

[UPPERLOBE]

There are plenty of photo's of it on the net. Wonder why they didn't get one from mother?

[Shot Nancy]

Lowerlobe you need to get out more!
I'd say that some current QF pilots have flown this one in these colours.

It took 12 months!! These babies have been doing Nam for at least that amount of time. I think the thirty seven looks good in that get up.

Wand Smoker, its called Mercedes Silver.....look closely....it actually sparkles!
Go figure

Lowerlobe you need to get out more!

Nancy....I think it's you who needs to get more....Just because it is a 737 does not mean that qantas techies have flown it...

IF you look at the pic and read what I said...

It looks like it has been somehow altered or edited,the colours don't look quite right that's all ...I didn't say it was a fake...

[*Lancer*]

Not exactly lowerlobe...

Jetstar Pacific Vietnam is the old Pacific Vietnam that Jetstar bought ages ago (VN rego). Based HCMC. The original Pacific 737s are getting replaced with new A320s, but they've been flying 737s in Jetstar colours for quite a while now!!

Technically no existing Q pilot has flown it, but there are a small handful of guys up there on secondment/LOA etc, as their next Chief Pilot may indeed be.

[LetsGoRated]

LL. I can assure you that a few ex/current (borrowed/LWOP/J*) "Qantas Techies" have flown those machines. So, as Nancy suggested, you need to get out more.

[roamingwolf]

you need to get out more.

Coming from a bunch of aviation nerds thats a good one.

[Mr. Hat]

Looks a bit strange - Virgin america is the vb equivalent.

[Buster Hyman]

Hang on...Lobee might be onto something here. Have a look at the 2 "c's" in Pacific. Why are they not bolded like the rest of the characters?

While I'm at it, did Elvis ever play in Saigon???

Just because it is a 737 does not mean that qantas techies have flown it...

The Saigon refueller tells me the chief pilot/director of flight operations is an ex JQ, ex QF and ex AN Captain.

[Beeroclock]

That J* colour scheme is just like a bad rash..Just keeps spreading only there is no quick fix for this one!!

So what do we get out of that?

A boss who makes the crew wear hats and jackets in tropical heat, imposes dated procedures because "that's how we used to do it in Ansett" and the company bonus is he will do it for third word wages!!

Not ex JQ, on secondment from JQ

The original Pacific 737s are getting replaced with new A320s

.

Unless they won a serious, and I mean serious lotto, I don't think they will be getting any new airframes, they have all money up there.

[Shot Nancy]

I know he came from QF but he is on the J* seniority list without a ghost Q.

[framer]

I heard he went to school in Sydney until he was 15 then moved to Melbourne where he met his first real girlfriend.
