I did a double-take when I found this image of a Nok Air Boeing 737 on Flight Global's 'Image Of The Day' blog. Click over there for a much larger version.
Apparently 'Nok' is the Thai word for 'bird', so the airline decided to paint its aircraft accordingly. Intrigued, I did an Internet search. Sure enough, its other aircraft - all in different colors - adopt a similar approach.
They're certainly different from the average airline livery! You'll find many more pictures of Nok Air's multi-colored aircraft here.

Yep, you won't 'forget' that airline... :-)
ReplyDeleteI can't recall the airline, but one of them regularly does "cool" one-off liveries. They did one plane with the parts labeled, like "cockpit," "wing," etc. I was trying to find the airline, and discovered this cool article about Navy paint jobs from 2011: http://airpigz.com/blog/2011/1/19/navy-skins-retro-paint-for-2011-centennial-of-naval-aviation.html
ReplyDeletePlus this one that shows a really cool Concorde in Pepsi colors: http://list25.com/25-cool-aircraft-paint-jobs/
Ah, it was Kulula Air, with their "Flying 101" livery.
