Befuddled_fish@reddit

I’ve always wondered if Air NZ’s air con bill is (ever so slightly) bigger than other airlines? Sitting on the tarmac in a black metal tube, surely it heats up quicker…

far more classy than air canada itself. fuck air canada.

Realistic-Bid9464@reddit

My favorite livery is the same one as you put. Transaero's tiger livery on their 747s. I do like both cats and the jumbo.

I swear I saw one of these the day after my mom posted on Facebook that zebra stripes were to keep flies off as it confused them. So I snapped a photo of this plane and said "it's to keep the flies off". lol 😂

I think it's a very remarkable livery and good marketing. But I don't like it

AlaskanHamr@reddit

Might be boring but probably this one. When I was growing up I always thought it was a Pepsi plane lol

[-]

rwalker920@reddit

When I was a kid I thought Alaska airlines had Abraham Lincoln on the tail

[-]

AliveAd8890@reddit

I still thought that til I read this message

[-]

hash-sling-slash@reddit

I thought it was Jackie Chan 🤦‍♂️

[-]

-AbrahamLincoln@reddit

That is no insult to me. The face upon that tail honors the Indigenous peoples of Alaska, and I’d consider it a far greater privilege to be mistaken for a symbol of their strength and endurance than for any politician.

[-]

ralphishere3@reddit

For me, this airline feels more pepsi

[-]

utkarshc@reddit

You need to see the building in LA. from far is a big confusion if it's Pepsi or Korean air

[-]

VMaxF1@reddit

Don't worry, there really was a Pepsi plane, albeit briefly, and it was quite something: https://www.heritageconcorde.com/pepsi-blue-concorde-1996

[-]

AlaskanHamr@reddit

That's awesome! I wish I coud see one of those fly.

[-]

PugnansFidicen@reddit

I still think that, lol.

The Korean flag has a red and blue yin/yang symbol, but the added white space in between them kind of breaks the association for me and all I see is the Pepsi swirl.

[-]

lazzzyseal@reddit

Loved this one. My hometown FC special

A one-off special livery as far as I know, but it looked so cool!

Royal Jordanian for sure. The most elegant livery out there

Was sad to see the classic Lufthansa livery go but this is a worthy replacement

What's with the giant blue gradient?

These two Qantas B747s in indigenous Australian (Aboriginal) painting livery.

While I knew of that special livery, I had no clue of the story behind it.

AlQuaza_011@reddit

For me it’s timeless. Sure the grey paint eventually wearied off after some time but really like the combination of these dark colors together.

I’m a big fan of the Northwest bowling shoe 747s, but I’m also biased cuz I took this picture of one at a boneyard just a few days ago! Was so neat getting to see this gorgeous hulk in person, but so sad to see her rotting.

Baremetal AA every day of the week and twice on Sundays. It looks gorgeous no matter what bird it’s painted on.

[-]

deiprep@reddit

Is there still that 737 that has this livery? Always wanted to see it again in person someday

[-]

TikhiySvet@reddit

At O’Hare last month

[-]

Choose_right@reddit

They still have a 737 in the old scheme. Also they have the Astro jet 737 which is also bare metal.

[-]

Paranoma@reddit

Now presenting “Bare Metal”. A luxurious, almost sinfully thin livery, enabling you to feel every rivet and joint. Brought to you by Astroglide.

[-]

Ficsit-Incorporated@reddit

This is news to me and I’m so glad to learn baremetal liveries survive even if it’s in very limited numbers.

[-]

Ficsit-Incorporated@reddit

Sadly none of these are left flying. The closest we get is the Flagship heritage livery. It’s okay, I guess, but simply not nearly as good.

[-]

wolftick@reddit

Damn you composites 🙄

[-]

TheHamFalls@reddit

I flew on these as a kid and they always reminded me of the bare metal B17s in WW2. Classic and timeless.

Singapore's tropical was among the best liveries i've seen, its insanely sad it was discontinued (my condolences to the affected passengers and crew and their families on SQ006), wish we could see it again.
