A 747-8i in retro Lufthansa livery is seen here on the left at Boeing's Everett, WA facility. The special throwback paint is in celebration of the carrier's 60th anniversary.

I'm trying to see how it's all that different. The stripe, the slightly different tail logo, the black nose cone. That's about it. I do like the retro liveries, though. Very classy. And those new wingtips are sexy.

Typically German, hasn't changed much. I think it may have originally been polished aluminium under the blue stripe, but I'm guessing there is too much composite material in the -8 fuselage for that to be possible.

I like the aluminum, as it was in the old AA livery. The new livery doesn't photograph as well.
