Very Nice-the nose seems to have taken a bit of a beating.

I think you just looking at reflections as that pic was taken just after the brand new aircraft was rolled out of Boeings paint hanger after being given the ''All Blacks'' scheme........

Great looking 777, although it would've looked better with the engines painted black similar to the 2x A320's they already have in the scheme.

Straying slightly off topic, one of the best 777 special schemes in my eyes;

I saw this aircraft arriving into LHR today. Unfortunately the weather was rotten however it still looked great. Will post some photos when I get home again on Sunday. It wasn't ment to enter service until the 24th however it was rushed into service early to replace another 777 which had a lengthy medical emergency yesterday.
