You're probably right there Cwa, they'll be a riot on a.net but lets' be honest, you guys did save our asses.

Maybe the Airbus CGI crew need to take Photoshop lessons !

P.S The e-brochure is amazing, it smells of hope for the 747 don't you think ?
Jump to postI think that there are many good and bad arguments here and it's obvious that there are many 747 fans out there, myself included but we have to be realistic.

See United for the prizewinner in this category.
Without a doubt - UNITED'S ugly cheapo eurocopy crap scheme. Really shameful that a market leader (forget the fact that they are in chapter11) could come up with this truly unflattering paint job. The outgoing scheme was very professional looking, even the old 70's/80's scheme was better than this.

Jump to postAs much as I'm not fond of Airbus, I thought it was pretty good.
I flew with Swissair (twice, way back in 1991/2) from Heathrow to Geneva but it was very enjoyable, comfortable and quiet.
So, can't say that I hate it.

Jump to postAs usual this thread has digressed to a low level - so let's keep it there.
From a neutral standpoint in the UK (Yes, I know we contribute to Airbus) nevertheless,
Boeing = Rulez.
Airbus = Sucks.
Quite simple really.

Have to agree with you on most if not all of the points you've raised here.
This is yet another reason why Airbus has surged ahead, Boeing just seems to be lost in the mist.
Indeed, where is the 747 programmed headed ?
"AMM744- You can't say all Airbus aircraft are ugly, just look at the A320- the best Airbus ever made" Er...I don't think so, the A320 is as ugly as all the other Airbus offerings, it's a weeny piece of crap "All KLM planes...

Oh it'll fly alright and fill the skies up with it's gross ugliness.
Agree with Lan Fanatic on this one, the A380 will definately take the crown away from all the others.
Airbus aircraft in general are butt ugly, the A380 however soars to new heights for ugliness.
Yucko...
I hate to do this, having slated this topic but I find myself getting sucked in.

Jump to postAA787, got my vote there.
AA's scheme is DA business out of all the US carriers, timeless, individual and incedibly sharp especially in the bright sun.
It's not a dumb comment, it's a plea for this insane topic to end once and for all.
NWA will replace their DC-9's when they are ready to. Period.
It's not the best looking livery. Looks like a hybrid between Brittania (Crappy UK Charter), Olympic (Crappy Euro Airline) and other eurocrap airlines.

Jump to postJust by saying that this is not a B vs A post means that it is.
The 747 is the most graceful and beautiful aircraft ever in my opinion, Concorde on the other hand was UGLY...and as for the A340, well that's another story, the 500's and 600's look just too awkward.
