Typical elal!

I just saw a picture of 4X-ELE (the new 744 purchased from Singapore Airlines), at LHR last week, and was suprised (although with ELAL this shouldn't be a suprise), to see that the aircraft is still only half painted in the ELAL livery (the big blue line going across is miising, and it looks quite ugly without it).

It's about time that ELAL keep their fleet's livery painted properly, and why when they paint don't they do it properly, I bet that it will take years before it's done (like the 737 and 757 which took years)

May the lack of a blue stripe along the body of ELE be the only problem of LY ...

Guys, No one is perfect... everyone have pro and cons, EL-AL is EL-AL
and we all got used to it already (didnt we?)

As for the stripes... its probably made in phases, As in April it didnt had any
Only the EL-AL Logo on the front, and the Flag at the back.
I assume this takes time which EL-AL cannot afford waste, and this
is why it takes time to do so.

I am happy with the inside of the plain

And I hope ELAL wont paint the plain and use the money for better
food from LHR.

I am on EAR or EAJ right now about to head to BKK. I guess the stripe would give it away but I can't see it from inside.

You are leaving nicely on time (actually 5 minutes early)
BTW it's time to switch your phone off

It's extremely nice to hear that you actually managed to get one of us lot, into the lounge

I must have been on EAR then since I looked at the plane from the window after deplaning and it had the stripe.
