That looks awesome!

Would be cool if it turned up at the Tauranga airshow.

Here's another - it did a few passes over Ham airport in company with ZK-DOK and a really cool High Speed low Pass along the eagle hangars with a pull up at the end before landing.

Wow! That looks magic! I say they need to convert the whole fleet!

Lost,d the Pacific Wave , why paint the entire fleet with the fern ... oh forgot ........ bean counters

Looking at this aircraft and also thinking about the 777, I wonder if they are going to find out that when the aircraft is sitting on the ground in the sun, if it gets far too hot. I think how it is in a black car on a sunny day, so I wonder if it will be the same in a black aircraft. Black absorbs, white reflects heat. So is this a wise choice????

smooth landings.

Errrr... I doubt only the marketing department had any input into the colour selection.
I guess the packs/air-con or ground air supply are good enough to keep the machines cool on the ground, and in the air the surface is freezing cold anyway right?

I've gotta say, that is by far the best paint scheme I have seen on ANY B1900 ever made. It looks like pure class, and I am aussie

Would love to see a PMDG B1900 repaint of that.

by **Link148** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 8:54 am

Only wish they would do a q300 as well. It would look mint.

Ho Hum.

Not a fan of the 777 wearing that, but on the 1900 it looks great. I agree with the comment above that the whole Eagle fleet should look like that. Very nice. I'm sure a Dash would look good too!

by **deeknow** » Tue Jan 10, 2012 2:19 pm

Dont forget about the poor old 733.. <sniff>

I love this shot.
