KS Ong 1 Report post Posted February 16, 2019 (edited) Opeing up SZB thread for 2019. One has to wonder, how Weststar acquired jets belonging to big US corporations like Trump and Google? This 767 (2-TSSA), belonged to Google at one time The Chinese carriers are probably out of fresh livery ideas. Lucky Air for example, has the British Airways livery in red and yellow. This China Eastern Airlines Executive Air (B-6186, A318 ACJ), tops it all by adopting USAF gov. jet livery. Edited February 16, 2019 by KS Ong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new Lucky Air livery appears to be Boeing factory dreamliner livery at the front combined with British Airways logo at the tail. It seems their design is just about copying and adopting others' idea. Cathay Pacific's old livery too - it is so BOAC at the cheatline level. By the way, I wonder how much it would cost to hire a Weststar 727? Edited February 21, 2019 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me thinks that particular example has more to do with CX's ownership during that era rather than Chinese 'copycat culture' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Waiping 12 Report post Posted February 21, 2019 Plenty of cheatline livery during then. Continental Airlines and Eastern also adopted the design. Much like baggy pants fashion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KS Ong 1 Report post Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) Surprised to see her diverted to SZB in FR24 around 1725. Probably due weather and wants to save some fuel while landed. She was coming in from KCH as AK5209. Rushed to the airport and managed to photographed just in time for her departure at 1845.

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted December 3, 2019 This Love Fly outfit still not flying regularly day in day out I believe - and yet there are already 'mascara stains' all over 9M-LOV there ?
