Since the last thread was locked here is a new topic to start,

We have seen the first 747-400, DC-9-50 and A320 now painted in DL colors.

Has anyone seen the 757 yet and taken a photo yet?

Here is link to old topic. Has some good ramp shots.

The 757 flew right over me in the employee parking lot as it was landing in DTW on Tuesday morning coming in from GLH, or wherever it was painted. Nothing too spectacular since DL already has 57s painted in new colors. It just looks shiny now. It's ship 5639

Just checked it is in thread about the DC9. The 320 looks ok actually, better than the Dc9 and 747 in DL livery. I think the 330 would ok too. I mean DL livery is rather boring and simple so how much does one really expect.

Actually, that is one of NW's newer 5600-series 757s. I would agree that the 5500-series 757s are falling apart inside, however, the 5600-series aren't that bad.

IMO, for Delta's cabin upgrades, I think the 5600-series should get PTVs with AVOD, while the 5500-series should get overhead LCDs. On both the 5500 and 5600-series 757s, the should get overhead bin extensions like the rest of DL's 757 fleet, and in addition, the 5500-series should get new PSUs.

The question becomes after this initial run of re-paintings - the 744, 752 (5600), D95, and A320, which aircraft are being repainted next. Will we expect them to keep rolling out repainted ships at this accelerated rate?

How long until we see an A330 in new colors?

Yes. No more aircraft will be painted in 2008. The plan is to have all aircraft repainted by end of March 2010.

Quick question will the NW 757 keep the 5500 and 5600 ship numbers or will it be like DL 600 - 6XXX numbers. I know the Airbus will keep the 3XXX and the DL 737-700 will be renumber since some of NW a/c have the same numbers.

The plan is, from what I can tell, to keep ship numbers the same on both sides.

Really? I find the 744 very stately, the DC-9 like a DL MD-80 that hasn't yet hit its growth spirt, and I just find the A320 kind of odd and awkward looking in the DL livery. I thought everything else so far looks better in DL's livery - but the A320 I definitely like better in NW colors.

A320 appears a bit goofy in the new livery.

Any MTC guys out there? In my eyes, the position lights appear much brighter. Any extra maint. get done to the strobes, position lights, "gum balls" on top of the fuselage or anything of the like?

I like the new Delta logo and font, although the font could be heavier. But...I find the overall livery design to extremely bland. I am a big supporter of simple designs and "less is more", but this is way too generic. The dark blue bottom swoop is weak and poorly executed, if they had brought it up so the bottom 1/3 of the fuselage was a blue swoop, it may have been enough to make a big difference, too bad...missed opportunity...

I will miss the NWA livery, by far one of the best liveries out there, just behind UA of course  Wink

121 Pilotboi: Well hell they can put out enough juice to power an airliner, I'd hope so (maybe we some modifications).
122 Sunking737: Any word on when the first A330 gets painted? How about the first XJ or CP planes?
123 Beertrucker: Untill we get word from someone inside I don't think anyone has a clue on what is going in to be painted. I am looking forward to it tool. I also want

128 A340313X: Sorry if this has already been posted, but does anyone know which routes the 747 DC-9 and A320 are flying?
129 Nwaesc: Oh I saw him in the window... That's just what I get for not asking "what specific airport were you located at when this picture was taken." LOL.
130 Atlanta: I was 54 in the picture, I took early retirement To invest much into the stock market, and to start a business with a fellow DL captain, a BIG mistak
131 Post contains images Keesje: Mistakes are for afterwards. Northeast aircraft were repainted in DL Colors (sticking to the Topic)
132 Rwy04LGA: A long wait for that as all NW a/c will be painted before any more DL a/c will. The A320 has been showing up at LGA recently. Ahhh, the DC-7...sweet!
133 Mayor: Yeah, but not that particular type. DL inherited F227's, 727-95's and DC-9's from NE.
134 DeltaL1011man: Not 100% true. No more DL planes will get paint with out needing it. If it comes time (DL doesn't repaint after HMVs) then they will paint them. NW p

142 Pilotboi: They'll need to do this to any NW aircraft that hasn't been repainted by the time they get a SOC. 5654
143 Jetjack74: You mean 5654. We don't have a 5400 fleet nomenclature
144 DL Widget Head: Pan Am maybe but National is a big stretch as they were absobed solely by Pan Am which, by extension, was partly absobed by Delta. Still, I wouldn't

158 Tristarcrazy: Whoops...typo I saw it in the hanger bay on Monday....looked like is was getting prep for painting so assumed it was. I have seen them strip and pain
159 KingAir200: Huh. According to NWA, 5654 is nowhere near ATL. In fact, it was in LAS today.
160 HermansCVR580: Oh F9Animal the former Republic hanger at DTW you can see REPUBLIC showing through in the paint. Unless its been repainted since I was last year.
161 Mayor: I'd pay you to NOT do that!
162 Rwy04LGA: A coworker of mine started with in 1971 with National, was absorbed by Pan Am and eventually Delta. Well, I read it somewhere that they were going to
163 F9Animal: I am a total Herman fanatic myself. Love your username by the way! Have you had a chance to youtube Republic? Some great memories, including the 580
164 KingAir200: The nice thing about gray though is that it doesn't show the dirt, dents, and dings like white equipment does. It will be interesting to see how fast
165 NWAESC: I'm off work for awhile, but when I get back I'll try and get a shot. There's at least one tug in my station that if you look at it, you can see the
166 Mayor: We had a portable scale at ORD cargo that had a Chicago & Southern property tag on it.

169 HermansCVR580: Oh yeah the other morning we had the 757, DC-9, and A-320 in MKE. Now we just needed the 747 and that would have topped the cake.
170 Argonaut: Well, if we're okay with including Pan Am (even if DL acquired only a part of it) and its constituents such as National, and don't mind getting even
171 Mayor: And don't forget, Panagra's original South American routes were bought from Delta Air Service.
172 Pilotboi: Going at this pace I think we can connect every single airline there ever was together in some way so no one is left out.
173 DeltaRules: The jetway I boarded my flight to SAT from MEM in April had a "Designed for Republic Airlines" placard at the end of the jetway. It was the first gat
174 Milesrich: That had to have been moved from CHI, now MDW, or another station, because C&S never flew to ORD.
175 Mayor: Oh, I'm sure it got moved to ORD in the 70's when we closed ops at MDW.
176 Beertrucker: Back more on topic. It is the new year now. Is there any news on planes going in for paint? If so which ones and or Models. Another thing that got me
