Delta Rolls Out Pink Plane
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and for Atlanta-based Delta, the sky is the limit.
Rolling out of Delta’s hanger on Thursday at Hartsfield-Jackson will be a special addition to the carrier’s worldwide fleet.
A bright pink Boeing 757 painted by Delta’s own technical services group declaring the carriers strong commitment to support breast cancer research. It replaces a similar aircraft painted last year for Delta carrier Song.
“Breast cancer impacts so many lives, including lives of Delta employees that we couldn’t bear to see the beautiful pink airplane for Song go, so we made the decision to paint the Delta airplane the same exact airplane in this beautiful new livery to continue the fight against breast cancer,” said Joanne Smith, vice-president of marketing for Delta.
Delta says the cost of the project is between $20,000 and $30,000, but it has involved hundreds of the airline’s employees along the way.
The greatest impact of the project, done in cooperation with the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, says Smith, will be in the monies raised for research.
“What’s impactful is the money that we raise from our customers. They open their hearts and their wallets -- they buy pink lemonade onboard the aircraft. Last year we raised over $100,000 in a single month just on the small Song route system. This year we will get much better things from our customers,” said Smith. “When you see this airplane pull up to so many gates, I’m just excited for what we can accomplish.”
The aircraft, says Delta, will join the carrier’s worldwide fleet and will serve cities worldwide, carrying the breast cancer awareness message wherever it goes.
And as Breast Cancer Awareness month kicks off on October 1, Delta is not only showing its support with the outside of this airplane, but will also be selling model airplanes, t-shirts and other things coming down the road. 100 percent of the proceeds going to breast cancer research.
And check THIS out....ack (obsessed, I know)!

Not bad, but I like the pink Song scheme better.
Yes, me too....but I'm excited since I was expecting the repaint to only include some small commemorative decal or something. Though the tail on this one looks somewhat like a birthday present. I don't even care! Bravo for Pink Delta, woot woot!
Delta may be in a snag when it comes to actually managing an airline, but as far as employee morale and loyalty is concerned, I think they take the cake. :)
It really looks awesome...very modern. Almost reminds me of some of the special schemes they had floating around when the Olympics were in SLC.
Can't wait to see it in person!
Brian
That is just brilliant!
And sorry but I think that blows Pink Song out of hte water. I will actually try and GASP chase this plane!
This is a bit more stylish than Pink Song. Pink Song was jsut a regular song plane colored pink instead, with a small ribbon decal ont he front. This is a whole comprehensive scheme.
Looks great.
Who wants to go hijack that pink Mini for me? Anyone, anyone?
(something...economics)
WOW, even I'm impressed (and that's nothing short of a miracle)
Looking good!
The Delta logo and font look really odd in pink.
You're just not used to it yet, Matt. You have to learn to accept Pink Delta into your life. :)
I'm all for breast cancer month, but where does it end?

i like this plane. like gothamspotter said, the front logo looks strange in pink, but i like the rest of the plane. i think i like this one more then the pink song, which to tell you the truth, when looked at by comparison to the green one , looked a little weird, and i would like the green better. (wow, long sentence, bad grammar, if my English teacher was reading this she would have a heart attack)
Does anyone know anybody at Delta that might have the schedule for her? Wondering when and where she'll be flying - my camera lens is itching for a sighting!! :)
An people said the Song livery was crap..
I really don't like this one now. The design is itneresting but I think Delta could ahve really gone for a better design.. Good cause but not a scheme I like.
Too bad they couldn't just leave the Pink Song...
It looks like barbie and the designers of aeroflots last colorscheme (1999 triple7 colors) painted the thing while drinking and taking pills the delta titles irk me out. But still classy for delta to make a statement like such like gottham said where does it end you do not see a testicular cancer piaggio flying around but I am sure it is coming .
Here are two more new shots, compliments of Rich Barth, personally, I Love It but the Pink Delta titles due look a little weird !

What's the deal with the damaged race car in the last shot?
It wasn't damaged...the black might make it appear so though.
Thanks for posting 'em Ron!

I think it's the same airplane--610 too....
It's a great cause--as my wife just finished treatment for breast cancer and is fully recovered.
I like it, however I think the "Delta" should be in factory colors, it really doesn't stand out.
That would have been a good idea.Quote:

Altho, if u think mixing Blue and Pink might be like mixing Testicles and Boobs, apprioate in bed but not on a plane :shock:
But something does need to be done for the DELTA in Pink.
Alex
well i for one like this plane - its really cool and pink and might i add my 2$ but i wish delta would adapt its reg colors like that pink style plane- am i the only one - or is there others who share the same opinion
Your 2 dollars? That's a lot more than anyone wants to hear! ;)Quote:
