Title: Second British Airways Olympia A319: 'Firefly'
Post by: BA773 on May 16, 2012, 03:36:09 PM

Another BA A319 gets the special Olympic colours. Looks simply beautiful in my view! http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=42894

Definitely better than the 'Dove' scheme.

I agree - at least this paint scheme actually stands out!

It seems the "Dove from Above" ;)   isn`t very popular;from a distance (which most people will see it from) it just looks white.

This scheme is much more striking-I like it.


Nice to see a bit of colour on a UK airliner.

It's a pity that the designers didn't make the scheme a bit better looking, It looks like a plane that has flown through a oily contrail to me.....
