Sweeet.

the wingletted 767s look so much better!!

Looks very elegant. The A330 in general is the nicest looking Airbus and these colors look very classy on this bird. This will be a nice catch at LAX.

Personally, I prefer the A340 airframe over the A330 (sorry Matt, but you're just about all alone on an isolated island extolling the aesthetic virtues of the 767), but I do agree that the A330 is right up there with the 757 (maybe better) at wearing just about any color scheme out there.

This is definitely a nice one....

Looks nice but engines a little plain. But personally think the 763W's out due this one. The W's look amazing!

no worries tom, i'll take that deserted island... no annoying people, no stupid people.. etc.

I'm on my own paradise igloo island too where I think my opinion matters (ha ha). I do like seeing the Airbus A332 in person yet it has these angles where it can be one awkward-looking machine (maybe due to growing up admiring traditional aircraft who looked great in side-on shots) and this plane 2 me simply doesn't. Looks ok in most angles except at side-on ramp shots.

Something with the landing gear too far back on the wing while engines positioned too far forward. That bulge around the wing root giving pregnant-guppy style and a different (squarer/larger) tail to top off the weirdness. Did I forget how dangling wheels also look odd because strut's too long?

Those underslung RR engines on the A332 I can't decide if they look stupid or are simply absolutely horrendous (I'm on my own island there too probably). But this engine/plane combination is worse than driving a square peg into a round hole visually speaking.

The 767 can be a bit "boring" but without the Mickey-ear winglets (trying to put off shooting one of those until I absolutely have to) it's never given me any bad surprises photography-wise and usually comes out honest in pictures (unlike the A332).

The Hawaiian livery has great colors, despite pattern being so-so and still manages to be pleasing despite a lot of white. Glad they didn't mess with it.
