Delta's Habitat for Humanity aircraft, N171DZ, just rolled out of the hangars at the Atlanta TOC in new Delta colors. She will re-enter revenue service later today after a two week-long maintenance evolution.
Snapped this photo of her this morning before heading home:

Looks like the font is a little bolder on the habitat plane then the others that have been painted. I think it looks great. Compare to the pic below.

You'r right - it does look bolder. I hope it's not an optical illusion - from day one I didn't think the title stood out enough and needed to be a bit bolder.

I've thought the same....maybe they will adopt the bolder look across the fleet.

The doors were open Friday evening and I got a peek. Looked really good. Coincidentally, came in on a 767 from SEA that was a few minutes late leaving due to a delay in ferrying over from the paint shop at PAE. Definitely the nicest looking 767 I've ever been in on the outside. Inside however, not so much. I was particularly surprised when the FAs mentioned it was intl config since it has less in the way of IFE than the typical 757/767 a/c used ATL-SEA. Perhaps that's next.

Oh no! Yet another unique livery! Let's start another "fleet repaint thread" with the 07 old titles and 07 bolder titles
Seriously, I hope they are bolder. Maybe someone from DL knows for sure!

So do you know if this is a change that will make it to all re-paints, or was the HFH bird unique?

Thanks - indeed, wish they'd bring that style back, would stand out nicely and not get "lost" into the whitefield. Alas, like the new livery anyway so anything else is just gravy.

Looks pretty sweet . Is that plane moving throughout the system, or is it somewhat limited in its routed (e.g. only flights from ATL and none from JFK)?

Last April I flew this aircraft on JFK-ATL, and it had just arrived from Kiev. Inside was immaculate, and even better in the exit row.

I like the white engine cowlings on this bird. Wish the official livery would incorporate that feature.
I wasn't overly impressed with Delta's new c/s when it first came out, but it is growing on me.....

I'm actually the opposite. I like the blue cowlings. I think the MD-88's would look better with blue engines instead of the white

The word evolution was used...just curious --- did she go for a regular visit or something extra special?

That's correct - International 767 aircraft will not have PTVs due to weight issues (the weight reduces the range of the aircraft to the point it can't reach some of the furthest destinations the intl 767s go to now). However, all domestic 757/767 aircraft are getting PTVs.

Flew her ATH-JFK last September. She'd come in from ATL and was returning to JFK so, at that time at least, she was rotating throughout the system.
