Virgin Australia B737 with Max-like winglets

Virgin Australia's Saturday afternoon arrival was in Boeing 737-8FE, VH-YIV.

Looking closely, you may notice that the winglets on this aircraft are not the standard B737-800 series winglets. Instead, they look rather more like the MAX series winglets.

Don't let looks confuse, however, this is definitely a -800 series aircraft. The MAX series won't be flying again until some time in 2020 [and I'm not going to guess when that might be!]. This is just an option for the NG series aircraft. Looks good though!
