You can’t get a much better explanation with an illustration than that. Good job WD.

The flag is NOT the wrong way around.

The flag image is painted to represent a flag blowing in the prevailing wind (nose to tail). It looks no different than the flag in the above picture unless you happen to fly your flag backwards on the flag pole.

With all the fake images that appear now on this site it really is hard to tell what is news and whats just a fake. With the flag being the “Wrong” way around and the reg looking quite blurred something didn’t look natural to me, in fact still doesn’t!
Sorry to offend anyone!

Argh, I don’t understand. Why not the Embraer 175 if that’s more efficient regarding fuel burn and passengers. And why such a small difference between them? CONFUSING:confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused: confused: :confused:
Where do they get the money from?

BA will be getting the type when BACX starts making some money.

I’ve never seen an aircraft with the flag painted otherwise in the US. It’s painted as it would be flying in the prevailing wind, nose to tail. Makes sense to me.

That looks very much like a model!!
