red tails or orange stars?
Hey David
last time I looked the 330-200's were for Jetstar - is the paintwork just a promo or a kreepy krawly to help make up for the other delivery delays?

Kanga,
Two gorgeous old girls
... so no real need for the airline to do it.
Short_Circuit,
Boeings get N- reg before delivery; Airbuses get F- reg. Until delivery, they are owned by the manufacturer (which why Airbus's insurer and not Etihad will be picking up the tab for the recently-totalled A346...
) so it's a French-owned aircraft until delivery.
Example:
N52017 became OO-THC.
