Sort of like seeing your footy side playing in their retro jerseys to mark anniversary years and special occasions. It brings back alot of memories.

Would be great to see a new Qantas jet in the "Flying Kangaroo" scheme from the days when the Kangaroo actually had a set of wings. That would be brilliant. Mix a bit of the old with the new.

DOH sorry.
Quiet is an understatement. I'm witnessing my first Boeing strike and the airports are dead. I'm relearning I do have other things in my life
Oh but it is great for catching up on editing summers work. At least it has coincided with the weather returning to its normal crap self.
I've been shooting down at SEA & McChord - I know for sure the USAF sure ain't going on strike anytime soon

For a standard livery I have always like South African and love it on the A346. Obviously its all about the tall but with the wing tips it looks great on the long white fuselage.

I cannot go past the Old Cathy livery. One of my fav's along with good memories as a kid spotting at YSSY.

For me, the Braathens livery from the mid 90's is a favourite.

The revised version, with a simpler tail featuring a flag is also not too bad:

i also love the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) BBJ.
i don't know what it is, but the plain elegance of it just attracts it to me. it would look a whole lot better if those eye brows were painted over.
