757 to SAS

Here’s a tribute to the last 757 rolling off of the assembly line. Washed in SAS paint through the ages…

It could have been reality, had my employer chosen to go for Boeings all-out instead of mixing with Airbus. The 757 was a contender for the new 190-200 seat class aircraft ordered in 1999 but one of the reasons it wasn’t selected was its unnecessary long range. It would have made a great trans-Atlantic workhorse, but now this is A330/A340 territory and if they are too large for a long-haul route, the route is cancelled just as Oslo-Newark was. Now Continental is flying that very route with 757s…and apparently great economy.

Nice images though!

I remember being a kid and making the connection between an ancient viking ship and the old livery on an SAS 741. It was like an epiphany! 🙂

As far as the new colors are concerned, well, look at the source. It’s the airline of Scandinavia, so what if it looks a little Ikea-ish… 🙂

I like it in new colours but the new SAS colours are ne of my favourites.The other 2 are just 2 bad colour schemes.
