I'll put this here instead of *a
I was flowing out of EWR early evening. It was well past dusk and noticed a plane with "Star Alliance" painted on it but could not make out any details. Does anybody know what this is?
By the my first time in EWR. I am not sure that I like the layout, especially if connecting to another carrier - but was not there long to ascertain whether my impressions were correct. It is certainly much simpler at ORD.
Thanks.

All *A members are required to paint a number of planes in their fleet in the *A livery.

Well it seems like *A query to me...

Suprised this is a first sighting for you, they are quite a common sight around the world..
Each airline is going to paint at least one aircraft with the new livery. The operating carrier will be identified by its logo located on the forward part of the aircraft fuselage below the Star Alliance name.

At present I read this board more than the staralliance.com.
Thanks for the response.

Mea Culpa.
Will try to do better in the future.
I edited my last response, I meant "staralliance.com" not "staralliance board". I do check that one out regularly.
But thanks to all for the response to my question and the gentle reprimand.
Can this thread now be deleted before I get into trouble.

...as others have noted, *A members are required to have some aircraft in the alliance livery...
It's all about the power of the :-:
