Let's see your picks of the prettiest airliner (or military) liveries

As I kind of unintentionally de-railed another nearby thread.
I thought I would create a topic for prettiest liveries for us to discuss and post pics in.

Not that its difficult. Southwest wins… sorry!! :wink::wink:

I always loved the old blue top USAirways Shuttle 727 paint scheme…something about that plane and colors I really like…

This is probably me being a bit old fashioned and patriotic but the old school Finnair paint is still my favourite - clean lines, flag in the tail, no frills. Hard to improve what’s already perfect :slightly_smiling_face:

A Connie is so beautiful, even a crappy Lufthansa paintjob can’t ruin it :stuck_out_tongue:

That one, glorious though it is, does not count. An airliner should have more than one seat, yeah.

Powered by the P&W JT-8D, same engine as the DC-9… Although with a beefier fuelpump and an afterburner.
And the mighty Viggen comes in a passenger version.
And, the title says “Airliner (or military)”.
And lastly; Ha!

In that case I see your Viggen and raise you a 70s tomcat from the grand old days before “toned down markings”
