RE: British Airways Tails
I really like multi-cultural art, I’m fascinated with languages, live abroad, and work in an environment of over 70 nationalities. One would think that I’d take a fancy to the ethnic art on the tails but as an airline enthusiast I’ve never been able to say that I like what I’ve seen.
The only way to appreciate the variety of tail designs is to see several BA planes in one environment. Unfortunately, the typical international airport has just one British Airways plane on the ground at a time. The assumption by those who see the plane is that ALL BA planes have the same design, and therefore the entire corporate image is attached to a peculiar piece of artwork which rarely has anything to do with the front of the aircraft.
I love the concept. I hate the reality.
