Another China Eastern A340-600 to Look Out For

[Iberia A340-600]

China Eastern has painted an A340-600, B-6053, in the SkyTeam livery. Apparently China Airlines will soon be painting a 747-400 in the SkyTeam livery as well. Keep an eye out for both aircraft at JFK!

Nice! She's a beauty! Hope to see the China Airlines 744 in Skyteam colors as well :smile:

B-6053 seems to visit JFK a lot too. We shouldn't have to wait long to catch it.

Excellent! I was just looking at JetPhotos when I saw the China Eastern SkyTeam posted. Definitely on my list.

woah! What a beautiful aircraft, even if it is an Airbus:)

Very nice, will China Airlines be the first 744 painted in Skyteam colors? I can't think of any others.

Man that is a sweet looking livery... OK, something new to look forward to :-) Thanks Gordon!

That particular airframe seems to have been here not long ago...

China Eastern operates 5 Airbus 340-600. So far I have seen B-6050, B-6052, B-6053 and B-6055. Has anyone seen B-6051 yet?

Yup! - May 29, 2010 was the first time I've caught it. Shot it as AirShow was wrapping up last year.

B-6053 was in on Sunday. It looks... very silver.
