I'm looking forward to it. I loved the old livery on the old B707.

No offence, but painting a couple of aircrafts with the old livery might get a few LY enthusiasts like you guys excited, but won't change the fact that they are a seriously messed up business at the moment, with a list of serious issues as long as my arm. [/left]
If the list of issues was only as long as your arm, LY would be in decent shape

Personally I would have found it far cooler and nostalgic had they repainted one of the 747s.

The plane wears the original livery. I must say I am a bit disappointed as I was hoping for the livery of the 90s with the 2 tones of blue.
