A few AA birds to look out for

[mirrodie]

..a special Komen pink-ribbon decal is being applied to selected aircraft. The first two will be a B757 and an American Eagle Embraer.

Ultimately, eight aircraft will carry this special livery, one B757, one B777, and six American Eagle Embraer aircraft.

The decal itself weighs only about 50 lbs.; its estimated fuel cost is less than $700 a year. ( that is cool statistic.)

The rollout of the first two aircraft carrying this distinctive livery is scheduled for Monday, August 11.

how big is that decal that causes it to weigh 50 lb?

While I like the cause, I don't know how good the pink would go up against the bare metal scheme... I guess it'd look fine on the Eagle RJ's.

Found this online.....Get your cameras ready boys

Wow, that's the closest thing to a new special scheme AA has had since the retros came out.

Wow I might ACTUALLY have to shoot an Eagle. EGADZ!

[Iberia A340-600]

That'll definitely look hot on a 777!

Matt,


my first reaction was an audible "oooooohhhhh, wooooowwwwww!!!" whislt sitting near my wife.


Looks promising!!

[mirrodie]

Double wow! is that on N664AA? Thats a regular to SXM. :borat:

Copy cats.

Not saying the cause is worthy, just seems a shame to copy Delta. Althought DL has been hooked up with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation since 2006. AMR is supporting Susan G Koeman.

Again, not slamming the cause, but I think DL was first and the pink plane looks great.
Check out N610DL.

FWIW - I know a lot of people were saying that Astrojet's colors were looking old...I caught her at KFLL on Friday - seems like she's been repainted...

AFAIK, its the same astrojet paint as it was when it was delivered around 2000. Next time it goes in for a C-Check I'd be worried......

That looks very attractive to see! I will be on the look out for those planes next time I ride AA around!

i thought it was stickers, not paint. on an airplane that big what weighs more, a sticker or paint?

The Caption says this is the second Eagle, I have not seen the first one but here's how the pink treatment looks on Eagle.

This one is not one of the many Eagle RJ's that are regular LGA visitors, perhaps one of the other three will be?

Thanks AA

Here is the 777:

[Smartass Flyboy]

Here is the 777:

1396826

It came into JFK a couple of days ago and has been running JFK-LHR for the last 2 days. Keep an eye out duirng the aternoons. She did 132 2 days ago, came back yesterday morning and went back to LHR as either 100 or 104 (don't recall right now) last night. Based on standard routing I'd expect to see her back either tonight as 141 or tomorrow as 115 or 105. Having now seen the 757 and the 777 live this is the better looking one.

[LGA777]

The 757 landed on 31 at LGA yesterday and was here again today and watched it depart 13, both in GREAT light and looked very pretty to me !

Cheers
