Painting even before selling the first ticket ?

Hi,
I just saw if the registration OO-ABA was availible,
I made this search on http://www.mobilit.fgov.be and answer : registration is availible.
So,probably this ex-Finnair A340 should have this reg.

About 9 days, 30 companions, 240 liters of paint for an A330-300 which can be compared in size and proportions. I didn't find an A340-300.
Brand new aircraft from the factory needs : an adhesion layer, an anti-corrosion layer, then, at the very end, the colors of the airline. 7 years is the average lifetime before to repaint it.

Regarding flying to secondary Chinese cities : does anybody know what they expect as a % of passengers originating from BE/EU, or will they be filling planes with Chinese tourists coming over on a EU visit ? And as such, would they view every ticket sold here as being a nice +, but not really needing this traffic ? Or are they expecting a 50/50 sales in O/D ?

I truly hope that they corrected the colours but somehow I doubt it :mrgreen:

The pictures looked indeed very good, now let's hope that the painters don't mess it up and make it a really nice colour scheme :D and the colours in the correct Belgian flag order (well, correct: art. 193 Constituion states that the colour scheme is red-yellow-black :D ) as well :)

The constitution does not determine the "order" of the colours nor whether they must be displayed horizontally or vertically.

http://www.senate.be/doc/const_nl.html
DE BELGISCHE GRONDWET
Art. 193
De Belgische Natie kiest als kleuren rood, geel en zwart, en als rijkswapen de Belgische Leeuw met de kenspreuk EENDRACHT MAAKT MACHT.

http://www.senate.be/doc/const_fr.html#const
LA CONSTITUTION BELGE
Art. 193
La Nation belge adopte les couleurs rouge, jaune et noire, et pour armes du Royaume le Lion Belgique avec la légende : L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE.

http://www.senate.be/deutsch/const_de.html
DIE VERFASSUNG BELGIENS
Art. 193
Die Belgische Nation wählt die Farben Rot, Gelb und Schwarz und als Wappen des Königreichs den Belgischen Löwen mit dem Spruch: EINIGKEIT MACHT STARK.



By the way the Belgian flag has a unique characteristic due to its format, although I don't know if this is official. The one flying above the King's Palace exhibits this property so I guess it must be right.
