Mattie Cribb Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Hey Everyone Im watching the Radar and just passed BNE heading East for Nadi from Adelaide was a B737-800 VB i think the callsign was VHB115 anyone got any idears also the rego of the aircraft was VH-VUN i didnt think VB flew ADL-NAN ?? Thanks Mattie
Guest David C Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Mattie ... Yes Virgin Blue operate ADL - NAN non stop .. The outbound flight is scheduled at 5h 05m and the return at 6h 25m ... a long time on a 737 !! Dave C
winsor68 Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I am not sure if it is VH-VUN...I just despatched her from Mackay this afternoon at 1725 bound for Brisbane as DJ616...
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I have seen her as a VBH flight, but not sure about this particular flight Mattie. Windsor, without seeing the ACARS logs, she could have done the VBH flight yesterday then being used on DJ616 toady.
nzom_pilot Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 this will all be correct - yesterday VUN would've operated ADL-NAN-MEL giving her plenty of time to get up from MEL to do the BNE-MKY-BNE run. Mattie, Chainy et al if you're interested in any of the VBH routes etc let me know or check out my blog, Pacific Blue is one of the airlines in my sphere of particular attention.
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Thats basically what I thought too. I tend to follow airframes not necessarily routes. Well ok, QFA566 each night is one I do watch.
Guest Chainsaw Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Just spotted VUN in WA operating as VBH172...10pm She sure gets around!
Mattie Cribb Posted September 21, 2009 Author Posted September 21, 2009 hahah thanks for clearing it but but one more question why VBH ? dont they use VOZ for Domestic and PBI for Inter ? idont know alot about VB hehe
nzom_pilot Posted September 22, 2009 Posted September 22, 2009 just for the record VUN's movements 20th & 21st Sunday 20th ADL-NAN-MEL VBH157/184 Monday 21st MEL-ADL-DPS-PER-DPS VOZ211/VBH194/173/172 Windsor68 I have VH-VUC on VOZ616 MKY-BNE for yesterday For Mattie and others confused by the codes all Virgin group flights use the DJ code, though Virgin Blue domestic log on ACARS/SBS etc as VOZ, with Pacific Blue (NZ) logging as PBN, Pacific Blue (Aust) as VBH, and V Australia as VAU (The difference between Pacific Blue (NZ) and Pacific Blue (Aust) is the ZK or VH rego - all Pacific Blue liveried planes belong to Pacific Blue, even though the VH registered ones also fly domestic for Virgin) Any other questions just ask :biggrin:
Mattie Cribb Posted September 22, 2009 Author Posted September 22, 2009 Hahah thanks craig its alll clear now :)
winsor68 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 VUC! yeh...thats the one! After being on duty for 16 hours I was having no VUN! Lol
