I'm not a huge fan of GA but tonight turned my perspective around!
I was picking up a gift at Stew Leonards near FRG. Purposely took New Highway home and some beacon lights caught my eye. Just a white Cessna, I thought.
As I got closer, I noted a large dark 'ribbon-like' scheme on it. Off the top of my head, it reminded me of ELAL. I shot through the 3rd airport parking entrance and drove back to find the aircraft pulling out onto the taxiway.
The registration was N6493Y and sure enough, this guy had it dressed up in El AL colors, right down to the Star of David on the rudder. Classic!! Looks so smart that I thought (for a nanosecond) that perhaps El Al might own the thing. The only thing missing was the EL AL lettering. I wonder if the absence of those letters keeps him below ELAL's radar.
I guess I never paid attention to it. Nice! I wonder how often other GA aircraft try to mimic the paint schemes of other airlines.
