Fleet Repainting

[traderjake]

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.

 

 
Fighting over seniority and repeating the same arguments everyday for eight years is much more interesting.

Yes, and who knows that better than you, who has been at the forefront of it all for, lo, those eight years?

I've read that all Airbus going to the American side are supposed to have seatback video, 110v power outlet and USB port at every seat. Anyone know if the new US side Airbus will be configured as such?

From what Parker said, they will not be.  The remaining deliveries will have AA paint, but still US interiors.

That paint scheme makes the wing look even more puny than it actually is...and it makes the single truck main gear look even more puny too.

Does this color make my gear look big?

Of course that's a smaller plane than the 321...

You might try counting the tires.

 

[robbedagain]

looks like 76 tires on an A320   looks like they screwed up somewhere in that area! 

 

[700UW]

No, there was an option for an A320 with a quad gear, instead of a double.

 

[robbedagain]

did not know that  thanks 700

I think IC was the only airline to take that option due to airport condition in India at the time.

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. 

The paint isn't consistent. On some of the aircraft it looks whitish/grey.  NWA had a better mica silver for their final livery.
