    I loved the red, but I love the fact that you fly 737-800s on domestic runs a bit more.. I have wanted to visit Australia my whole life, maybe sometime in the next few years. That means I follow Virgin Australia's flights around on flight tracking apps, when I'm stuck in bed with back pain, or in my free time. I pretend to on on every flight wondering what great place to visit when we land. I love the white with red also. You might think I'm a 12-16 year old kid writing this, but in reality, I'll be 65 in July. I have had a long career in working with doctors and college degrees, but when the topic is flight we are all 12 year olds amazed at the miracle of flight. Be well Virgin Australia and employees, great success and happiness to my adopted airline and the beautiful country it represents. From Arizona in the US, Best Wishes, thanks for the video!

      There are other interesting airlines in Australia if you want to follow them too Bobby. Of course most people have heard of Qantas but then there's its regional line Qantaslink. Qantas has its low cost airline Jetstar. Then there's Regional Express, known as Rex, there's a small regional airline called Air North that also has one international flight from Darwin to Dili in Timor-Leste and there are various other small local airlines. All worth a look.

    Whilst the new colour scheme is modern and sleek, it's too simple. Gone were the days you could spot an aircraft from afar and recognize its a Virgin Australia / Virgin Blue for its distinctive red fuselage.
    Now, Virgin Australia blends in with 90% of other airlines with a white fuselage - normal and nothing special.
