S V Choong 4 Report post Posted June 29, 2005 Couldn't they paint the other 744 in blue special livery Then two 777s - One in hibiscuit red and one in blue? So that they do promote the two classes, although the 777s may not have F class.... but hey, the most important thing is MAS have it somewhere Rumour has it that three 744 will be painted in Hibiscuit scheme - 9M-MPD Seremban(already), 9M-MPB Shah Alam (currently) and 9M-MPC Kuantan (due soon). 9M-MPJ is already installed with new F-class and C-class but painted in normal livery.

Guest Fendy Report post Posted June 29, 2005 i have flown MPD but alas, that was before the retrofit. oh well, at least this increases the chances of snapping her, since i dont have the livery in my library yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence, that's why it was for the 772. Btw, where did you hear this rumour? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted June 30, 2005 Azahan - I'm keen to know how MH treats the revised extended pitch for C in the 744, as what they have done to the 772s (where one row was removed from the front cabin.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sing Yew 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Regarding special liveries and retrofitting. How many 777s are already retrofitted ? As far as I know its just MRA, MRB, MRC, MRP and MRQ. Are there any others ? I was onboard MRC last Thursday from ADL to KUL and the IFE System had to be restarted several times. Thanks to AVOD we could fast forward the movie to where we were left it. Cabin staffs were very efficient and friendly onboard that flight. TK did you happen to be flying that sector ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Just to clarify a bit with Sing Yew's post above. Sorry Sing Yew... 9M-MRP and MRQ was delivered with new C-class seats and AVOD systems. They were not retrofitted aircraft. Most of us here probably knew this already.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sing Yew 1 Report post Posted July 6, 2005 No worries about that SV. My mistake. How could it slipped my mind, RP and RQ were delivered to MH last year and our very own TK flew one of them back to Malaysian terra firma. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken K. Kour 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2005 Im sure we all do.. but another MPD is not a good idea... they should come up with a similar scheme, base it on an orchid, or something, but make it different, even if its the subtle change in the patterns of the Hibiscus, it would be better than a direct twin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2006 It is indeed amazing that they want to paint more aircrafts because I understand form other threads that it was more expensive to maintain the painted aircraft (weight issues and etc) ? Well I think they should paint their B777 instead as they may be keeping the B777 longer than their B744. I still think the blue fellow looks stunning and seems to be the best for me !!!!!!
