That looks really nice on that Airbus nose.

Vintage liveries don’t always work on new planes...but when they do. Mmmmm...

I think it looks fantastic. I’m a sucker for retro liveries, though.

It’s more likely than you think.

Looks like the cargo had an appointment he didn’t want to miss.

I really like how they have the aircraft type and engine listed on the forward entry door, just like the old Tridents:

They are definitely being thorough. I wish more airlines did this.

I’m super impressed with the red wings too - I was surprised they made it on.

Yeah apparently there is a “new” Landor 747 coming next (I hear it’s already in paint.

Hoping for a BCal Airbus to come.
