I'm not a fan of modern aircraft, I feel they're too "perfect" and they lack a lot of character.

But I like that Mig!

I think she looks better in old BOAC colours. Nice aircraft nonetheless!

the BAe 146 aka Jumbolino is a great A/C.

always used to love them in SN Brussels Livery and Cityjet(Airfrance) colours :hrmm:

i was told if you sit under the wing mount area, you can hear the fuel being pumped to the engines quite loud ?

737's are alright, but when the only aircraft you see are bright orange 737's you get sick of them! haha

I could probably say the same thing here if I lived in a place like DAL. WN at least has decided to add some nice blue to their 737's now. However in ATL where I am, there are plenty of variations in the 737 I see though there will be less once AA pulls their 737's from the New York route.
