IL-18 ER-ICB that was resident in BNE for a while a few years ago has blue props (http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos....gsearch=ER-ICB) so you'd assume it would be possible.

I'm with you on that one Jack. I'm trying hard to get used to the Virgin Australia livery but I'm still struggling. The ATR has even made it harder to like it.

I think the ATR is a hideous looking airframe too, but the colours somehow brighten it up.

Wish I could design an aircraft, I'd make it nice on the eye lol.

I think the new scheme looks incredibly boring on the ATR airframe.

Any news on delivery/entry to service?

I am hoping they'll be doing SYD-CBR sometime soon.
