Can only agree with that :!:

Actually the AF retro c/s just looks wrong on the A320, unlike the far better looking ones from LH/AY/SK etc.

On the possitive note, it's not much worse that the standard AF c/s, and at least something different.

If you ask me, another example of a colourscheme that looks much much better than the current one....

Now let's find out if KLM is getting a retrojet as well. After all, 2009 marks the 90th birthday of KLM. Hopefully they'll follow AF and MP's example! :o

Which retro-colours should KLM use? They have lots of former colours. Maybe the 100th anniversary could be used to put all ex-KLM colours at aircraft.

They could choose from a lot of liveries. Personally, I'd like to see the ones they had when they flew the DC-8 (if I'm correct the DC-8's flew in 3 liveries, 2 of them being white with blue lines and one in the blue the first 737's wore).

I'd go for either the DC-8 with the diagonal lines in the tail or the Constellation scheme with classic striping and the r/w/b tail...

No artistic minds on the forum tempted to make artist impressions?

Hmm, maybe that would be a bit too painful, in the light of that crash.
