In honor of AYCJ (All You Can Jet) a special livery will be unveiled Sept 7th T-5 at gate 16 between 10am and noon. Plane is wrapped up at H81. I'm working tomorrow so I'm gonna try and get some pics if I'm not working at flight.

It would be really neat if they incorporated the Building Blocks tail design from that contest a while back.

Saw aircraft 531JL in MCO at the hangar in the new livery tonight.
It has been here undercover for nearly a week. Named "All Blue Can Jet". I did not have time to snap a picture, and not to give anything away but stylized jetBlue colors with orange.

Prepare to be underwhelmed.... my guess is that the tail will feature a graphic listing every (or at least most) JetBlue "destinations"....
The point of this livery is basically a shameless promotion of their successful "All You Can Jet" campaign (tickets were only sold for a few days!) and, if I am right, it would also be a sort of rolling advertisement of the cities JetBlue flies to.
I've heard that internal promotions for the All You Can Jet graphics featured some errors and at least a couple of city omissions. It will be interesting to see if the livery also contains these errors (I would hope not!) or if the livery is way toned down from what I am expecting. If it is just a huge "AYCJ" or something similar on the tail, I will be the first to say I'm disappointed!

Left my camera at home but you can always count on someone to come thru on here.
They gave out t-shirts promoting AYCJ which has all the names of the cities we fly too. Well, they misspelled Burlington on the the shirt but we got a company contest out of it. Shirts as far as I know were giving out to crewmembers only. I chose not to get one because, well they look very corney which is no surprise. I work for a very corney airline. Anyway, plane looks good. Not too flashy. From looking at our FIDS, doesn't look like its going out at least until tonight.

Fantastic! I like the subtle incorporation of orange into the scheme!

Like the tail, but they could have at least done something more with the rest of the plane.

Doesn't look like much of a special scheme to me, just another new tail...

Eh..
I don't know.. It kinda reminds me of the carpeting inside T5.
I was expecting much more of the AYCJ theme, other than the name.
Opinions are like @ssholes. Everyone has one, and everyone thinks everyone elses stinks!

I'm with you on that one!
I think it is just another tail scheme and I don't particularly like it more or less than some of the other ones. I will say that the original "stripes" tail looks very old and dated these days, but otherwise I just cannot get excited about some thin orange stripes on this one.

There are going to be a few aircraft that have different endings as these were the aircraft that were sold to Blue Wings and are now coming back into the fleet. I think the original tail numbers (which these will have the same NUMBERS but different letters) were taken/re-issues.

25 icebird757: This is actually a new tail design, not a new livery. You might want to change the title of this topic.
26 contrails15: I just thought of that today actually. Only reason why I have this title is because the company said new livery which I think all of us thought was g
27 icebird757: It's nice to see the orange as I heard orange is now one of the company colors. I wonder if someone is having second thoughts about Troy's Building bl
28 contrails15: I like the all white paint on the 10th anniversary plane. I wish they were all that color white and made solid white. makes the plane look bigger and
29 asuflyer05: Thanks for sharing those photos. Having seen an aircraft in the paint shop, it's pretty interesting to watch how the process takes place. Overall, I
30 spchamp1: Once again jetBlue has dissapointed with a new tail design. I do like the fact that they are incorporating our third color, but outside of that it is
31 spchamp1: Icebird, they didnt say that it was graphically difficult, they said that it was too much paint. The additional amount of paint increased the weight,
32 kingcavalier: Too bad they didn't paint the aircraft "All Blue." Now, that would've special.
33 awacsooner: Not bad, but I think they should've stuck with the original 3 they had 10 years ago.
34 planeguy727: From the press release I read they are going with the enlarged titles on this and all future a/c (like the 10th anniv plane). It's possible this is ol
35 B6JFKH81: It also had an extra color that wasn't on the rest of the fleet, which increases costs for maintaining inventory of that extra color of paint.
36 richierich: Maybe that's why the orange-colored stripes are VERY narrow? I can't imagine it costs a lot to maintan inventory but it may make the repainting proce
37 B6JFKH81: When they had the contest to design the tail I believe it was mentioned that the orange could only really be used as an accent (IIRC). You would be s
38 Owleye: This striping pattern is one of their best tailfin liveries. I love it.
39 qqflyboy: I actually quite like it too. I agree that it reminds me of the carpet in T5 at JFK, but then again I liked that too. I just wish they'd dump the jetB
40 ah414211: Yuck! The orange is hideous! If it wasn't for the orange on it that would be my 2nd favorite jetBlue tail design.
