Looks good! Out of curiosity, how do airlines decide which aircraft is going to get a special livery, eg why VZD for the Optus?

It depends on the length of the advertising contract and when Qantas think the paintwork may need refurbishing...therefore a new /newly painted aircraft fits the bill.

Not surprised that Optus have got into the action....I am sure Woolworths Supermarkets are very happy with their QF FF link.

Coles would not be happy as Fly Buys is viewed by many as lame duck.

This article shows another angle shot of the decal, sort of reveals there isn't anything at the front end
http://www.zdnet.com.au/optus-qantas...-339321566.htm

In my opinion, a very nice fairly large decal I hope it is not short lived liked the Telstra decal on the Jetstar A320.
