Dragonair 25 anniversay editor

[JZ1]

Hi, just returned from a trip to China. Weather at this time of the year is hot and humid in Shanghai. There were only few days with some hints of sunshine during the 2 weeks I was there. While leaving PVG, I spotted the Dragonair A-330 in its 25th anniversary color scheme. The Chinese calligraphy at the rear of the fuselage repeats "Serving your for 25 years".

Sorry for the hazy condition.

Now this IS something worth looking at! What a great scheme and nice angle to catch the A333.

This is the type of images that I enjoy, classic airliner-on-tarmac side-on shot where the plane and exotic airline are the main attraction. I'm in love...

I also love that song. Any chance anyone has the mp3 file of it or know where I could find it?

I did a bit research. The aircraft was rolled out with the new livery on June 10th to commemorate the 25th anniversary.

Just to show how things have evolved over the years, I flew KA 737-200 from SHA to HKG in 1990. In 1994, I flew their L-1011 between SHA and HKG. It was in 3-4-3 configuration in economy. In 1995, I flew their brand new A-330-300 from HKG to SHA.

Too bad the regular Dragonair livery has "evolved" into a crappy mostly white plane now.

These special liveries though are gorgeous. Loved the video, what a meticulous process peeling off all that masking tape but the result is splendid.
