Everyone has an own opinion (luckily), of course... I saw it arriving, and my first reaction was something like 'hey, not bad at all; in fact it looks better on a Boeing than on an Airbus'.

But it was only from a distance that I saw it, so pictures are more than welcome!

Very nice ! Looks even better on the 737 as on the A319 IMO.

Can't wait to spot it in real !

I like it!

I also feel it looks better on the B737-400 than on the A319.

When can we expect a B737-300 and one with winglets in the new colors?

If I knew the B737-400s were being repainted, I wouldn't have wondered as much about their utilization in the coming months/years.

Now if only one of these birds could fly to BEY. I grant it's not for tomorrow but hopefully the doom will bottom down one of these days.

Looks much better on the 737 indeed !!

EDIT: sorry, hadn't seen the link above

Looks nice indeed...

I still wonder if it wouldn't look better with an all light-blue fuselage? Is there anybody who is good at modyfying photos?

You mean like this?

It's a very quick and rough edit, but it should give you an idea of how it would look like

Thanks but I prefer the real situation.

I like it, much more than the white/blue-grey mix, which I think is a mistake; the white colour simply doesn't match with the two tones of blue.
The all blue-grey fuselage would be very nice; it reminds me of the old "classic" "Landor" livery of the other BA...

i like it on the b737s

I agree, it looks good indeed.

Read this earlier in this topic :

Can't see any extra title stating the message above at all on that picture... Source ?

Thanks a lot SAB021! Interesting in some ways, but I prefer the current one now that I can compare...

It still looks unfinished though

I agree with Buzz. I think the whole fuselage shoud be blue-grey, but with dark blue engines.

OO-VEG (B737-300) has just been fitted with winglets and will leave for painting on tuesday 28th of november. The a/c will be back on tuesday 5th of december (if everything goes according to plan off course)

I think it looks better on stubby bodies like the A319's.

Duke · Post by **Duke** » 25 Nov 2006, 11:28

While browsing on A.net, I discovered that both OO-VEK and OO-VEG were only repainted in the latest Virgin Express livery somewhere in the beginning of 2006, so less than a year ago. Nevertheless, they are the first aircraft to be repainted in the new Brussels Airlines livery. Can anybody explain me how the order of repainting is determined? Does it have something to do with B-, C- or D-checks?

Looks better on the B737 than A319 if you ask me
