Dassault won the contest on swift delivery and cost. As for stickers being applied to an Airbus, then another and it costing the tax payer a fortune, reading this thread is hilarious! I remember a 757 arriving an airfield in England and having all kinds of very large decals added for a world tour by a Portuguese football team. They were then removed after that short term lease. Quick repaints and the rapid livery changes via decals are common place.
