Things in the Sky

2009 is an important year in aviation history as KLM, the oldest airline still operating, turns 90 years old. Just like sister airline Air France painted a bird in retro colors for its 75th anniversary, KLM has done the same. I have three photos of the 737-800. In the past I haven’t been too successful getting photographer’s permissions to use their photos in blog posts, but this time I was lucky! Thanks guys! Click on the photos to see a larger version.

First, here’s an excellent shot from Cees de Krijger:

And finally, here’s a shot from Ruud Brinks:

I like the way this 737 looks, especially the tail colors. I wish more airlines would do this. I would love to see a Delta aircraft in the widget scheme or perhaps a United aircraft in the same scheme as the Caravelle.
