    First SilverJet 767-200 Painted

    I think she looks a little bland and could use some tail paint but otherwise I think she will look stunning in the New Jersey sunset light!

    Like so:

    I like it. Thanks for the link. It's been years since I've been to Maastricht! What a throwback.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    I like it....could use a BIT of detail, but I kinda like the subtle elegance of it. It pretty much represents what the airline offers I guess.

    Painted grey and silver planes fade very quickly, a look at NWA's birds if proof of that. Nice looking plane though.

    A bit bland if you ask me but then so are the investment bankers and corporate lawyers that will make up their customer base. They will probably be much more interested in how the inside looks than the outside anyway. For what it's worth, I think Maxjet has the nicest livery of any of the 'all business class' transatlantic carriers, but it will be interesting to see if any of them make it beyond the next couple of years.

    I like the silver part, but the giant letters are kinda lame IMHO.

    boring. caould use some color. even if it's going to be populated only by stuck-up bigwigs they could at least paint it. ah well...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    I do not like it. It is boring and its another all euro white plane.

    I think it would look better with some tail paint, and bring out the large "SILVER JET" letters a bit. They are kind of hard to see

    I personally think it's one of the worst schemes I have ever seen. I can't imagine why they would want a blank tail ? And the lettering style that looks classy to some looks cheesy/tacky to me. I guess it's all about personal taste and this one gets a BIG thumbs down from me, especially since Eos and MAXjet has such (in my view) creative. classy, and attractive schemes.

    I'm sure some branding consultant who is likely getting paid more than the aircrew would say that the blank tail represents classic British understatement and the infinite possibilities of flight.
