The German airline Condor is upgrading its fleet, and with new airplanes comes new paint. This stripes theme seems reminiscent of beach towels and awnings. So far, only the new A330neos seem to be getting the all-over stripes; the older A330s that I've seen only have stripes on the tails. The reaction among my coworkers has been pretty mixed, but I like it. I especially like the planes of different colors; anybody remember the jellybeans and flying colors of Braniff?
Before the Airbuses and the new livery, Condor brought B767s into LAX:
I'd like to think that this will start a move away from the boring Euro paint schemes of a white body with a coloured tail. I think I'm being hopeful.
ReplyDeleteCaptain Vector, hope all is well & that you'll have time to post new LAX tidbits in the near future. Question - At some point, can you discuss if & how the ramp tower over at the MSC coordinates ground movement with the ATC tower. Has having a "true" ramp tower been helpful in relieving some of the ATC'er workload associated controlling with ground movements?
