Re: Airbus A330neo Production/Delivery Thread - 2022

Great to finally see a photo of the first VS A330neo. I’m wondering if there is going to be a minor livery tweak on the tail as it’s covered up in the photo. You can clearly see the ‘gin’ part of ‘Virgin’ on the tail. I noticed in the latest renderings that VS put out of the 330neo that the tail alm...

Re: Avelo Airlines News and Discussion Thread

Thought I would play around with the logo and create a few concept liveries. I'm not a designer by any means, just a bit of fun! I missed that their fleet would be 737's and not A320's but didn't want to go back and change it. Looking forward to seeing the real livery! https://i.ibb.co/0FYRm7V/Avelo...
