Thanks for the photos!

I dont like this look much on the A330, the old paint job looks better on the A330. Maybe it has to grow on me ;)
Theres nothing better than slow cooked fall off the bone BBQ, Texas style

That is sexy! 8) I think it looks best on the 330s, maybe with the 762 as en exception. :)

The more I see it, the more I like the new US livery. It has some nice retro touch to it...

Agreed, it looks stunning on the 762 and A320, but it doesn't fit that well on the A333... It'll grow on me too:)

The before and after:

Old Livery

New Livery

The 330 just stands out now IMO.

Another new look in PHL

Hello

To my opinion it's very clear :D

The old is the better. I must say that it fits better on newer planes like the A320 and the EMB-170 and a little on the B757 , altough I think especially the US Airways 'heavy's' are better in the 'black' livery , it's very recognizeble and very elegant.

In the next coming years I'll start to like it more but I'll stay missing the good old colors. :D


Best regards: Yannick ;)

You mean the old FR c/s? Now that you mention it, I see it too. Never noticed it before. I still think it looks stunning on 737's, 767's and A320's, but not good on the A330...
