went to France for two weeks, and was driving by the Perpignon (LMFP) airport and saw a jetblue aircraft there. Could it have been sold and not repainted yet? any ideas?

Maybe a new delivery on a shakedown flight?
Hi mr. feathers. According to the Skyliner magazine:
According to the Skyliner website, two ex Blue Wings A320s were ferried to Perpignon:Quote:
JetBlue agreed with GECAS the lease of seven A320s for six years; all aircraft had been part of the JetBlue fleet until they were sold to Blue Wings [Germany]. GECAS acquired the airframes after the carrier ceased operations last year.
D-ANNB (C/n 1240)
N527JL (C/n 1557)
But as the latter was already painted in JetBlue colours, I think it is most likely that's the one you saw the time you drove by the airport.
Best regards.
Did not realize JetBlue was grabbing second hand baby busses now.....
Ryan, both aircraft were actually leased by JetBlue to Blue Wings a few years ago. I imagine with the demise of Blue Wings they are finally headed back across the pond. The aircraft were originally N507JB and N527JB.Quote:
