I like the new United, and I have always like seeing AA in LHR, kind of makes you feel like your getting closer to home.

I like the Lufthansa 747 with the soccer nose, I also like the Martin Air Cargo roses paint scheme, it looks nice.


If it's not Boeing, I ain't Going!

Me too, i like the new United, simple, three stripes in blue, the vision cannot be confused, like the Wunala of Qantas.

another livery i like is the Frontiers, i saw with my own eyes and like it very much.

I'd like to see the A380 painted up in that Wunala Dreaming scheme. But something tells me the A380 would still look kind of bland. Looks like that color scheme might add some weight to the plane, isn't red one of the heavier colors?

I like New Zealand. Best on the 777.

Also, this thread would be more useful in polls/prefs. I don't care, but you are gonna run into some anetters that are gonna jump down your throat for putting in the wrong forum.

My first post on A-Net. How exciting!

Anyway.. I'm a big fan of the Continental Airlines Peter Max 777.. I know I could get flamed by some people for saying that.. but yes.. a very creative aircraft.

Oops, I almost forgot an example. Big grin

I agree, I flew on one of their 747's in July. They have a great livery on that aircraft.

Gee.....what is this thread again? It is a POLL as to what users favorite paint scheme is. Being so, it has been placed in this forum rightfully so. You sir, have little regard for this website and its rules.

Another person who has little regard for the rules in the thread starter. His topic is incomplete - a violation of the rules. It would not have killed him to make it say "Best Airline Paint Scheme."

As for the thread itself, my top three special paint schemes are in order as follows:
