There's lots of comments on airliners from people saying they hate it. 

I love it!  Very unique paint.

A340 yes, C17 no.....good livery on the appropriate plane, but a non grey C17 looks wrong IMO :P...I guess it's certainly different.

Nice pictures of it though......:)

I love it. The first C-17 wearing a civil livery, and a great one too!

I agree with Mic. I've seen so many grey C-17s that it just doesn't look right!

I think it's cool, something different from the same old grey I saw everyday in Hawaii  8-)

Darn that looks good! Always liked Quatar's livery and it's even more special on this C-17!  :o

I like it, although I think it would look better without that white bottom.

UAE is the next customer. So I wonder if theirs will be painted in there livery?

Up close it looks amazing. even at night when it was leaving it slowed every thing down at the base and the air port, because every one was trying to get a look at it.

I'm not entirely sure this one could be entirely classed as civilian (particularly having seen the colour of Qatar's first). I suspect there may be a little shady area in the rules concerning government operated (essentially) military aeroplanes using the national carriers colours. :)

I like it. Nice to see it something other than the usual AF gray. Wonder how it would look in UPS or FedEx colors.  :-?
My specs... A hard drive, motherboard, graphics card, some memory, a keyboard, mouse, and monitor - in other words, nothing special.

This is how Boeing used to advertise it to the civilian market.
