Are VS taking any of these?

Watched it live, a beautiful plane, far better than the so called Dreamliner IMO.

Since we all expect VS to cancel its A380 orders, we should anticipate that these will be converted to A350s. So yes I expect some in the future VS fleet.

There was a story a few years ago that VS were planning to order 50 A350s, some of which would be owned and leased back from AerCap Holdings.

But I don't think there was ever any confirmed deal, and vs are not on the public list of orders, so I assume it was never completed.
