..in case JetBlue is more like JetWhite (or so I hear) Air Tran might make up for the JetBlue disappointment with some bold color :mrgreen:

Not a rumor - I spoke to someone yesterday who saw it come out of the paint shop at MIA on the weekend - black all over - Falcons logo on the tail...

That's a good looking paint job!

Woohoo! A great excuse to go spotting in ATL! :borat:

Very nice paintjob. Can't wait to see this bird at LGA.

No idea this was out, from the lack of anything online as it was in the hangar only a day earlier at MIA. Not thinking we'd need a zoom lens for JetBlue in the hangar, we only went out with the 55mm lens, then I tried to kick myself in the head just like Wee Man from Jackass.

Someone who used to do the Falcons charters PMed Wendy to tell her this might cause a conflict as DL is and always was the official Falcons airline and both DL and the NFL will go after Air Tran. Don't know if this makes sense since Air Tran are now the official sponsors. Who cares? This paintjob is Great Success :borat:

The only other black scheme I've seen was from Air Canada just north of the border, on the Toronto Raptors themed A320 circa 1998.]
