red750 Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 An Airbus A220 destined for Qantaslink has ditched the red tail, and has been painted with an indiginous design in blue and green, with the white kangaroo retained. The aircraft is registered VH-X4A and will enter service later this year between Melbourne and Canberra. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshallarts Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Very like VH-ZND, the 787 Dreamliner with the "Yam Dreaming" decoration. That one retains the red tail, but the red fits in with the painting anyway, as the green does with this one. I like them both a lot.

facthunter Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 It fails the "How it looks from a distance" Test. That's the only view most people get. You usually load and unload at the Aerobridge. Nev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueadventures Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 I don't like it, looks like a flock of fruit bats flew over it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facthunter Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Perhaps with Q link, Aerobridges are not 100% as it's a feeder service, . All that's recognisable is the "white rat" on the tail. Nev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgwilson Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 (edited) There is no logic to determine artistic taste. I reckon it looks good. Edited November 17, 2023 by kgwilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Litespeed Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Like the idea, it provides a distinct Aussie flavour. However to be realistic it should just be dollar signs all over with images of crossed out aircraft for all the ghost flights. The tail should be a pirate flag. Now that's the real Qantas we know and hate. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
