Drinking straws with wings or genious? You decide.

Bach's candies.

As I said elsewhere, the blue and white livery will be almost camouflaged in a scattered to broken sky.

I saw a couple of other comments elsewhere, "The brand name is buried", really, you think once someone asks for the first time what airline is that, that they will ever have to ask again? One I agree with, over time it's going to look like a patchwork once any of a number of winglet, doors, access panels, or the nose cone has to be replaced.

This is supposed to be a vacation airline. I'd post a picture after coming down the airstairs at my destination with that plane in the background. Good for them to realize what their demographic and niche is and avoiding trying to play as though they are stuffy and elegant.

I think it's brilliant. They've actually leaned into the joke about Germans and lounge chairs.

The red & white livery is going to be hard to find, might get lost in a crowd

It definitely stands out:

My first thought...

Will the flight crew be wearing safety vests and hard hats?

i thought it was an april fools joke at first but not anymore

I like airplanes which are easy to see.

The blue one is out of paint:



I'm sure this one is very popular with fans of QPR.

Do you handle many fully cloaked Klingon Warbirds?

You misspelled "every Learjet in existence."

Also Diamond TwinStars, going on what the guys at Provo told me. Damn near impossible to spot and Tower hated them for it. This was made even worse by the fact that they could pretty much only be painted white or lighter grey, which worked just great against the mountains (and would have made finding a downed one all the wrong kinds of fun).

The school were also planning to retrofit their entire fleet with more powerful engines, because climbing on a single engine was by no means assured. Oh, and for actual IFR they'd take a bunch of students to California because these things didn't like ice very much.

Pretty, though.

Yeah, that's going to be invisible in a scattered to broken sky and hard to spot in a sky with few clouds.

The uni crowd up at Logan also uses the same planes, and yes, they are hellish. I worked out a standardized route of flight with them last month. We have enough MORs as it is, and invisible Diamonds going every which way, but mostly through the arrival and departure corridors, adds needless workload during peak.

Provo is a hopping little airport given the ATCS staffing there. I am acquiring a controller who used to work there, KAF, Kabul Center, Saudi Arabia, etc. Glad to have it as the last guy washed and we're at about a 50% success rate, factoring in those who quit the first two weeks it's busy.

Thankfully they're equipped with engines from a 90's Mercedes taxi so you can hear them from the next time zone.

Back to the Condor rebrand, an A332 in partial paint has hit the DB. Meh set to maximum, definitely need to see this one in finished colours:

Some design firm got paid a lot of money for this.
