Not sure if I like the look of the winglets or not yet.

The winglets are 3.4 meters high!
an average school bus is 2.7 meters high
They look so small on 767 ohmy.gif.

I think the Koru's make it look far too busy. I would prefer to see the same graduated paint as on the tail.
Sort of disappointing really as I thought they would have looked better....perhaps too tall and skinny.
Mind you it is all going to change shortly anyway.

But, it just says Pacific Blue. The apparently reason with the Koru, is that its a forward pointing arrow.

Well the corner is getting further away. It is meant to coincide with the 787 and new uniform.

The vertigo thing is interesting, I wonder why people would experience that? Can't say I've ever heard of it before.


Looking at the pictures, the koru on the inside of the winglets is on a different angle to that of the fuselage i.e. they are slightly nose down, so maybe they give people the wrong visual reference that way.
