    Perhaps the best livery yet?

    I just went through some magazines that we accumulated this week and came across this advert.

    Considering South Africa's history and wildlife, this might be the best livery out there yet. How I would love for this to be at JFK!

    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Is this even real or is this just being used in the ad? Very interesting indeed. Although it just screams jaggies.

    Tom, don't lose the trees for the forest. Who cares about jaggies?!

    Just an ad in the magazine. It is a drawing. Perhaps its a hint of things to come?

    I hope that S.A.A. is not out of their mind enough to make their airplanes go from classy to third rate safari charter look alike.

    Jaggies suck Mario and make pictures look bad, lol There was an African Airline if I recall that had a DC-8 with a similar look to it. This does look better then South African's current colors which scream boredom.

    that looks awesome!! one airplane would be cool, the entire fleet would be tacky though.
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.
