It looks like no two aircraft had the same livery

I think both companies leased the aircraft, from a dealer.
And if I had been presented with a chicken entree rather than a steak dinner
I think this is a USA usage of
entrée, meaning the main dish, rather than the original French (and UK/Australian etc) usage of it being the entrance, that is a starter. Wonder how that transposition happened. Because, of course you could have a little
bonne bouche chicken
entrée, followed by a steak (wonder if Air France have ever managed
steak frites on board). If we ever have an FT OTAAQ in London, as sometimes threatened, I'll lead the way to my favourite French
steak frites place, not far from London City airport.
