Doesn't really bother me, I like the classic Qantas white aircraft, red kangaroo tail look.

BA aircraft look much better in their traditional red, white, blue look as well. They tried going trendy tails for a while.

Pan-Am had one of the best looks of any airline.

Hi everyone

A bit of what i think, is sad news today. My friend who is a flight attendant for Qantas said they are scrapping the blue aborigonal jumbo, and had no plans of repainting another aircraft in the same colours. I was always fond of that plane, even though i thought those colours would have suited Ansett better. Oh well then, what do you guys think.

i like the red aboriginal plane, btw is this something wrong with posting because on my screen it has aussie boy before samanthas post :S

the clocks are fucked.

And sad news about the Aboriginal livery.

I've always liked the red one better than the blue one.
They are scrapping the blue one so soon? It's currently in Avalon getting Skybeds and new seats fitted isn't it?

Alot of folk in QF refer to the three painted aircraft as MABO 1, 2 and 3.

The Blue one was due to be retired within the next 2 years, but that has now has been put back with the delay to the a-380's.. the 300's will be the first go, and then the 400's..

From memory, they're painted at shop in the US.

The first message has been pulled?

No. Messages are out of order.

The plane is in heavy maintenance and needs a new paint job anyway. It was hardly worth re painting it in that scheme that actually weighs a considerable amount more than a standard livery.

Those aircraft have been in those colours for about 5 years now.

No. Messages are out of order.

ok I follow now

It's good that they are going, cost savings, plus a flying eyesore.

Wunala And Yanyaji Dreaming will still be flying don't forget.

Wunala - first appeared on 747-400, now on a 747-400ER.
Yanyaji - 737-800 VH-VXB

I call them Mabo (Blue Torres Strait Design), Bonner (Wunala red design) and Dingo (Yanyaji Dreaming orange design)

So Technically, Qantas still has Aboriginal (correct spelling for the person who wrote the title) Designs, but the Torres Strait design is leaving.

The aircraft in question is called "Nalanji Dreaming" in case anyone was wondering. I never liked the scheme anyway.
