Peter Max 777
Just saw a photo of the Peter Max 777 here:

Does CO utilize this plane on a certain route consistantly? I fly out of IAH all the time and have never seen it.

I used to see it at IAH all the time. Since I don't get up there as much these days I don't see it as often, although I did see it last week taking off from IAH when I was heading up there to pick up a friend.

Peter was following me for a while, I flew him from IAH-CDG and back, and then, EWR-TLV. From the airliners thread, it looks like he spends a lot of time going to TLV, I don't blame him

I'm hoping he will be with me on my IAH-CDG this Sunday.

My most recent sighting. 1/4/05 at NRT. It was going to EWR while I was going to IAH.
Bad photo, as it was getting dark, but I took the picture because another colorful plane was taxiing behind it - a ANA Pikachu 744. Have a look:

I have flown it but of course you can not see it from inside the aircraft. Personally, I think the CO livery is better looking. I think CO has the best looking paint scheme in the industry.

I saw it twice in one day last month...being towed to its gate at IAH as we were taxiing for takeoff, and again at EWR as we were taxiing for takeoff.
Regarding the best paint schemes: Braniff!

I flew it in July, 2003 from HNL to IAH. The problem was that I was on the inside and couldn't see a thing!

This may be a dumb question, but why does CO (or airlines in general) rotate planes versus using the same plane on the same routes?

And then there's the EWR-HKG flight. A 777 is left in HKG for about 16 hours on the ground after each flight. CO has a contract with HAECO, the local maintenance firm, to service the 777 there.

It is a cool place in soooo many ways. I am thinking about a site59 junket back in the next couple of months...
