Go to Borders - I picked up a mega-copy all about FSX which I'm still browsing through, not a bad read.

Ah yes, i'm a fan of the locals, We've got a free (i think) sub to Pacific wings as dad's friends with Rob Neil (editor) , Aero Australia and Australian Aviation are good ones too. Oh and don't forget Flight International :lol:

Go to Borders

I was at Sylvia Park yesterday and as there is a Borders right next to the movie theatre, I thought I would go in and get myself a PC Pilot mag. I was gutted to find they had sold out, and I can't be bothered going all the way to Queen St to just buy a magazine!

Have VB already got 777's? I can't find any picca's on Airliners.net and on Wikipedia, it says they are entering service in 2008. There is also an artists impression image on there:

Looks a bit big for the VB livery IMO... Is this whats on the cover Jon?

difference being that they can have the 777 now, but they'd wait until at least 2013 for a 787
not to say they wouldn't be interested in a 787 then...

yeah thats the cover, however Virgin Blue arent flying those yet, and when they do it wont be called VB, they are runnming a competition to select a name.

Cool! But weird.. what is the point of changing it? Won't the company loose its identity and customers?

Air New Zealand operate international and domestic flights under the same name, as do many other carriers. Whats wrong with Virgin Blue International?
