Like the current one the best; this just looks out of place.

This isn't bad as a one off, retro kind of thing. I do like it, but I'd rather see the red meatball back. :)

Ditto. I think it a spectacular livery for one airplane. I wouldn't want to see it on the whole fleet though.

Looks a bit too Air Force One crossed with Elvis's 707 paint scheme for me  ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Well it is a retro throw back on one aircraft and btw, I LOVE IT!... we have that paint scheme on our DC-3 at LSFM. This DC-3 use to belong to Continental.

Im not going to vote for Hate It because I dont HATE it but I dont like it  ;D, so I did prefer the Red Meatball because i'd rather prefer that than say I hate it.

I'd like to see something else new rather than this retro stuff but thats just my thought. ::)
