Well, CAF still have a B29! Seen FiFi irl! Probably my favourite WWII era aircraft (that’s not a fighter)

On the topic of ww2 planes, my favourite is probably the b-29 as well. Timeless plane with a great design

Does anyone know of or about the radar failure in the UK? Not actually sure what happened, saw quite a few aircraft diverted.
Technical issue with NATS in Surrey I believe. Seemed to break the South East and any aircraft flying through their zone so Manchester was a bit out of commission too.

Might have to try that out one time

Correct A321LR displayed at Bray Airshow also had a ATR-72 as well.

I wasn’t to sure, it clearly was an LR however the news and its own website decided to spread disinformation.

Yeah saw that I’m guessing an XLR wasn’t available so sent LR instead.

So, as most of you are probably tracking, Alaska Airlines purchased Hawaiian Airlines, but are keeping that part of the company separate for now, including the branding… that doesn’t extend to the B789s though. Just a few days ago, Alaska revealed they have a new separate scheme for their long-haul Dreamliners, though all other Alaska aircraft will keep the 2015 livery.
What do you guys think?
I personally find it classy and sleek… but much less inspiring and exciting compared to all their other schemes. They also removed “Chester” the Eskimo from the tail… so in my opinion, it lost a lot of the character.

It would have been funny if they painted it in the pre 2015 livery

It actually looks, well, quite ugly in my opinion. The 2015 would fit well with the 787 or maybe the 767.

I don’t mind it it’s just Meh I also think the 2015 livery would look great on it. Or the 2015 livery but with the Hawaiian colours. Like a hybrid livery

The colours are nice, everything else feels like a step back imo. Is there no one left in design who can produce a good airline livery?

Personally, I absolutely love it. I’m from Seattle though so maybe a bit biased haha

I think being from Washington is exactly why I’m disappointed with the change. I’ve loved all their liveries including the 2015 one. Just not this one so much
