First US landing for a brand new jetBlue A320 (photo fixed!)

[Steve Kurtz]

I am sure this is old hat for you NYC guys, but this was pretty cool for a guy in Orlando.

This aircraft flew from Toulouse to Goose Bay, and then from Goose Bay to Orlando (JBU 7705). As I understand, jetBlue installs their inflight entertainment systems in Orlando.

Note, this aircraft (N705JB) does not yet have the 'hump' on the top, where I guess the satellite TV system is housed.

Also, I noticed that this aircraft does not yet have the 'tag line' on the nose; i.e. "Blues Brothers" etc.

Thanks for letting me share this!

705 is the first of our AC that have an "Enhanced cabin". New low profile seats like on the Embraers,more legroom in the first few rows,slightly more shoulder room for the window seat passengers and a touch screen FA panel. We are now in possession of N706 that arrived in MCO yesterday.

Thanks for the added information on N705JB. By the way, how long does it normally take for a new A320 to be completed at the MCO facility?

Thanks,
Steve
