If I recall correctly, this Caravelle was in fact painted like this for a movie. I’ve also seen photos of a Caravelle wearing Interflug markings for another movie. There once was a great Caravelle site with facts like these but it’s long gone…

Just flew KLM today, ARN-AMS-ARN with 737-300 and 737-800 and was pleasantly surprised considering I had small expectations. Friendly crew and free triangular sandwich with soft drinks or coffee/tea. Certain Scandinavian airlines now charge €2 for coffee or water and €3 for a sandwich in their new “refreshed” economy class, which is embarassing.

Seats were about average, but if you want a window seat make sure you don’t get one in row 6 on the 737-300 or row 8 in the 737-800 as the air conditioning ducts from the engines run there and thus there are no windows at those rows. Leg room was sufficient for me, 180 cm tall, and the cabins were generally in a fresh condition.

I would also like to take this oppurtunity to ask Sonnenflieger,Skymonster and IL62M for there suport in this project, since both of them being from the aviation industry. 🙂

Sounds interesting – let me know if I can help in any way!

Looks great! I never thought the old Iraqi Airways livery would fly again, especially after having seen a few aircraft wearing a straight green colour field on the upper fuselage insted of the beautiful wave.

What a wonderful thread this is! 😀
