Virgin Blue 737-700 (737-7BX(WL) variant) VH-VBR is out for a stroll. I'm not sure whether she's getting ready to take off, has just landed, or is just moving around.

Australians tend to call redheads "Bluey" simply because it's incongruous, which is why the mostly red fuselage colour spawned the name "Virgin Blue"; it was intended to convey a sense of larrikinism. However the name was not long for the world. In May 2011, a bit over a year after this shot was taken, the airline would be rebranded as "Virgin Australia" in an attempt to move it "up market" and capture a greater share of business flyers.

The airline would fail during the pandemic; in April 2020 it went into voluntary administration. In June of that year it was bought by Bain Capital, which still runs it as of August 2022.

And what happened to VH-VBR, which was named "Mackay Maiden" after a city in central Queensland? She would be gone from the Virgin fleet not so very long after this shot. Acquired in September 2002 (shortly after manufacture), by October of 2010 she was serving with Southwest Airlines. She was withdrawn from use on 4 December 2020 (probably due to the drop in air travel from the pandemic) and has been in storage in Arizona since February 2021.

Addendum: My personal opinion is that Facebook is a sociopathic organisation that steals other peoples' intellectual property (including the images in this gallery) despite being explicitly denied permission to do so.
