What's new

Fleet Repainting

there is a bunch of 75s and 330s to be painted by end of this year
 
Summer busy season is approaching, they wont get painted till after the seasonal flights end.
 
Is it just me or does the "silver" of he new colors just look grey?  Aeroflot's silver looks much more silver to me. Is this a copyrighted color?  Seems there should have been something to look more like silver than the choice they made.

Not just you.  I thought grey was the official color

I am pretty sure it was supposed to be silver, reminiscent of AA's long time silver aircraft.  They supposedly did a lot of research to get the right silver as I recall.  HMPH. 
 
Northwest had a better "silver" mica paint than the AA paint.  It's going to look horrible when it oxidizes.  
 
814 has actually also been repainted, went back into service sometime last week

Are we going to go through the entire fleet, one-by-one?  Pictures, too?  Jeeez!  They all look the same to me!
Ha you should see the list they're keeping on airliners.net. Tail number+fleet number for all the new colors in the AA and US fleets, the whole 9 yards

Yeah, I know of Airliners.net.  It's their "thing," and that's just fine.  I am glad there's a site for that since it is interesting documentation for researchers and for those people who inexplicably (to me) find it fascinating.
 
I recently deplaned from a trip to Madrid, and a few of the passengers were glued to the concourse window writing in a little logbook tail numbers of airplanes they could see on the ramp (with the aid of binoculars, yet!)  I see people do that occasionally, and find it sadly amusing.  
 
Why not write down tag numbers of cars and which brand/model they are attached to?
