I'm with the second wave of responders... that doesn't look good at all. It's the green which is off-putting...had the green part been left white or coloured in Etihad dessert-gold, I think it would look a bit more appealing... but only a bit.

But then again, I understand why Scott thinks this paintscheme looks great.. poor bugga's so used to seeing white private jets buzzin' around that his sensors go hay-wire when something colourful make an appearance. .. just kidding mate!

No there is a fair amount of truth to that Shameel. It's not what I would paint my G550 in but anyone who has the B*lls to put that on a kick ***** plane is pretty cool in my opinion. Whether you like it or hate it, it's different, eye-catching and as a spotter/photog the shutter should press itself.
Sick of Euro-white,
Scott.

I'm just thinking, what was first, the RD in the rego or ReD colour.

A quick search brings us the owner as Liberty Eagle Acquisitions Inc, Rockland MA but that doesnt explain whether RD is a total coincidence.

Or perhaps I'm thinking too hard...

Looks like the sort of thing Kebabitohs owner Russell Crowe would fly in...
