Your favorite Airline livery

Mahesh · June 26th, 2003, 11:45

Hello all,

I'm curious what your favorite paint schemes are.

I like BMI (British Midland) and ANA (All Nippon). As you can probably tell, I like the white and blue combination.

BMI?? Geez what is the world coming too - that scheme looks ghastly!

braidkid · June 26th, 2003, 11:59

I was just thinking about this actually. I like Frontier's paint schemes with the wildlife pictures on the tail.

LOL!!

You're right, I think it is an aquired taste. I see their 330s every day flying out of Dulles. A couple of days ago, it looked beautiful, red wingtips and white underside.

From the side, they do look a bit like whales

ATA Connection. The Chicago skyline on the tail wins me over. Plus the blue, yellow and white is a very cool color combination. Second choice would be ATA.

For some reason, I've always liked the Continental Airlines paint scheme. Not too flashy and I like the globe on the tail.

I think alaska's new disney jet scheme is pretty cool

I have to say I really love Southwest's new beachball livery!
I think it's very refreshing and aesthetically pleasing

I also really love Virgin Atlantic's livery!

I think the two coolest are USAirways and United's. I like the dark colors they have, although that must be a bitch to work on in the summer since it gets so hot! But they just look cool.

John_Jones · June 26th, 2003, 15:32

I like British Airways, becuase I always enjoy looking at the different tail liveries, I am more of an oldern BA livery fan though, not the new ones.

FLYMcDoofer · June 26th, 2003, 15:34

I am partial to all of Delta's liveries. The older look is classic and now the new look just looks good to me.

rausda27 · June 26th, 2003, 16:04

I was a fan of the British Airways Landor color scheme....

June 26th, 2003, 16:11

I'm a fan of the Virgin Atlantic's livery...I think the red on silver is a great look.

I also am startin to kinda like Southwest's new colors with the blue.

cmsuav8r · June 26th, 2003, 16:13

I am also a fan of all of delta's schemes and also all of northwest's color schemes.

smokey1 · June 26th, 2003, 16:22

1. Old school Delta scheme
2.Southwest..........I can just see myself crusing the friendly skies in one of their doo doo brown and orange 737's

Smokey............................................ ..................

MissedApproach · June 26th, 2003, 16:34

As long as the colors aren't too bright and don't clash with the sky it usually looks good. United went from a butt ugly color scheme to a really nice one. Same with America West (to a slightly lesser extent).

jjm · June 26th, 2003, 16:47

Well, I went so far as to get a tattoo of the old school Japan Airlines tail crane on my back shouderblade, so you know where my money's at.

AA · June 26th, 2003, 16:56

AA looks good, a clean look anyway. Also US Airways, becuase of the dard colors.

I like Delta's colors mainly cause I work there. I was hired when we had to old colors so it took a while for the new to grow on me. America West has some really cool ones. I love the baseball and American Flag ones. I saw an USAir connection ERJ145 this morning that dark blue looks sharp and makes the jet look more sleek and fast. One also that comes to mind the no longer around airline of Western Pacific. They had a pic of Marge Simpson and her tall hair on the tail.

BlueStreak · June 26th, 2003, 18:12

I'd have to agree with FlyChicaga about the ATA and Chicago Express liveries. I also enjoy US Airways, the old United, America West, and Continental.

Adriano · June 26th, 2003, 19:42

I think my favorite livery is Sun Country's.

Oh, I like Varig's livery too! Very professional looking, I think.
