very nice looking plane!

AZBigDog · February 14th, 2007, 14:51

That's Hot!

Somebody on the inside must have posted that to a.net because I can't find it anywhere on the employee site. Is that a real photo or the artist's rendition? The airgroup employees were presented with four different paint schemes for the 75th anniversary airplane. I think I read somewhere it's supposed to be rolled out toward the end of this month...

That's a good looking airplane. It's the old DC-3 paint seen here:

The cockpit looks empty. What happen to the top windows above the cockpit. I have noticed some of the new 738s dont have them anymore.

I think that's the artist's version of what it is going to look like.

Doesn't look real for some reason though. Just too glossy?

They're planning on unveiling their new a/c and announcing the development of pilotless aircraft on the same day... you know, to soften the blow.

MQAAord · February 14th, 2007, 22:02

Gee, shiny polished-metal finish..... nobody's ever seen anything like that before

(*coughAAcough*)

It's very pretty, but I agree that it doesn't look like a real photo. It would look gorgeous on the real thing.

CAFFEINE · February 14th, 2007, 22:10

Very beautiful.

Expressjet should hire whoever did this..........fast.

FSIPILOT · February 15th, 2007, 13:58

pilot602 · February 15th, 2007, 17:37

Saw it landing in LAX the other day.

Nice to know the money they could be paying their employees is going towards such needed expenditures ...

bwade210 · February 15th, 2007, 17:42

That's a great looking livery. To bad I will not be seeing in KSAT.
