It seems just the blue has been removed from the belly – I wonder if this is a sign of things to come with Icelandair… another dull euro-white scheme! 🙁
The aircraft in question was 15 years old (N632SW). As a result of this incident they have grounded 81 aircraft, for inspection.
This is not the first time this has happened on a Southwest flight either – it happened once before on a flight in 2009 on a 737-300 (Nashville-Baltimore service).
Its parked near to where they used to have the Trident parked up. I saw it last weekend when I was in the area. You might be able to get a snap if you do a bit of hunting about for a decent spot – but unlikely – your more able to get a shot of Concorde at present.
I got to see it first hand on a 757 last week when I was in Orlando (got some shots of it), but I can’t say I like it. The CO design is sleek and well known, true… but very dull. The UA livery is so much better. So its a shame that something creative couldn’t be done with that instead. I do realise though, that it was probably down to cost at the end of the day, and the what they have done was obviously the cheaper option.
Some lovely shots from LHR matey – Makes me wanna get back up there again! And hopefully I am next Saturday. Quite excited to hear of this retro livery too – Due for roll out today! (3rd)
