I like the classic livery even though the airplane has those engines that appear to be smashed off on the bottom - someone here mentioned last week that there is a reason for it. I forget but I think the person explained that if the wind pushes the wing down during takeoff or especially landing the bottom of the engine will not smack into the ground and possibly break the wing off or cause significant structural damage. Anyway, I have seen US Airways and Air Canada airplanes painted like that and I assume there are others out there. |
