i like the tail, but why the orange?

Nice tail. Like the orange. But why JL? Why didnt they just use the old tail#? Yes yes its the same number but it isnt JB at the end. Hence new number. (yes fighting the argument already)

The newly-named aircraft has done quite a bit of jetting itself, according to aircraft records. She was initially delivered to JetBlue in 2001, when it was named “Rhapsody in Blue” and wore the registration N531JB. In 2006, JetBlue sold it, along with four other A320s, to German charter operator Blue Wings, which operated it as D-ANNF until they ceased operations in January of this year. The aircraft was subsequently picked up by an aircraft leasing company, from whom JetBlue is now leasing it.

For whatever reason, when they sold the aircraft they did not keep the registration rights to N531JB. A quick look on the FAA database show that N531JB is now on a "Zodiac" aircraft registered to Paar Arthur Benn in Wisconsin.

They probably weren't expecting to get it back. :-)
