Wonder how long before the complaints start about there being no Red or Blue in it

I don't like it! The tail is fine, but I don't immediately think of the Olympics when I see this. As an Olympic themed Logo jet it could have been better thought out!

Come to think of it, it doesn't even have the Olympic logo anywhere on it. Maybe they could have put something like 'London 2012' on the side or something.

Any yeah, just looks like a specially painted aircraft!

Have to agree. I think it's a fantastic scheme but it doesn't scream out London 2012 or even Olympics.

I`m not fussed on the scheme either; it doesn`t really stand out,and from a distance it would probably just appear white.

It needs more colour and should mention the Olympics somewhere-maybe they forgot to put that on. ;)


At least it`s better than the stupid mascot things for London 2012.They are awful.
