    Well....the clouds never lifted, the Talon was early, the Sky King was delayed and it rained - at least I got to see my first Delta B763 in new colorscheme...

    Is it me, or does the 767 have a lot of dead space in the new Delta scheme? I know all of Delta's 767s (except Habitat) are mostly white, but this one seems more mostly white than the others...

    (Nice shot though! The clouds probably improved the lighting situation...)

    Hence why most of us hate the new paint. I just think the blue drops off towards the front of the plane too much and leaves too much dead air between the windows and the blue.

    The reason you are seeing so much white now vs. lots of color is cost. Cost as in first off painting the plane and then the cost of fuel it takes to keep a plane cool sitting on a taxiway in 95 degree heat. White reflexes the sun while the darker colors absorb it making the A/C's work harder hence the increase in fuel consumption. I do agree a bit more blue would have been nice or even a simple cheatline.

    For the record, all of us don't hate the new scheme.

    Sorry, I should have said some of us.

    It is the garage at terminal 1 - go straight out of the terminal, over to the garage - take the elevator to the 7th floor - and presto - you are there. Morning - I'm not too sure - I think you will get a lot of backlit if they are landing on 27R in the morning. If you are getting take off shots from 9L, I think you will be ok - I tend to shoot there at lunchtime or early afternoon and then you have to be careful of backlit, toplit and overexposure as well - but - it is a great spot to get some shots.
