Default New Atlas Air
Just noted on SYD Acars is N429MC which, on checking, is a former ANA ship (JA8095) model 747-481 c/n 24833. Arrived about an hour ago from Honolulu.

I think UAL get the same mob to paint their B744's because N197UA (new colours) has paint peeling off it everywhere.

Although your correct, 197UA has a little paint coming off, you might have been reffering to N198UA which is much worse.

I havent seen 198UA in person, but yeah thats shocking, I seen 197UA pushing back at MEL the other day, missing alot of paint around the two forward doors on the right hand side and around both hold doors also.

To be fair, there is at least one of them that looks like it has actually had a new paint job applied to it - can't remember the rego though.
