Yaay!! Ive been waiting to see or hear this for a while now. I just saw another picture of 701DN at outside the Boeing Company right before it started getting painted. Thanks for the update Phil!!

Looks kinda funny to me with the wheel hubs covered. She does look great though.

Boring......way to white. The problem with Delta's colors are there's no simple elegance behind it like ElAl and Air France. The transparent colors on the solid tail and the forward part of the aircraft just don't stand out and make a statement, they are eaten up by the white. I think these colors look better on the smaller planes.

ElAl, ok, but elegant like Air France?

Yes its a very simple yet an elegant scheme. The fonts boldness and straight angles have a flow to them that the eye can follow, these same principles are also incorporated into the tail design. This scheme also doesn't have harsh contrasting colors like Delta's new colors, the white doesn't flow into the blue at all but just runs into it.
