That would have to be the ugliest thing to grace Australia's skies since TAA's old VH-TJL in the late 70's that flew around looking like a tropical fish tank!!!

Aboriginal art has true beauty - but not in this form.

Sorry - but it does nothing for me.

Looks more like one of the Virgin Blue 73's with the red tail and winglets.

MD11 by the look of it. There's just a peek of the centre engine intake showing.

Sorry St Elmo, I'm not with Virgin Blue, if that was your inference!

Nourlangie Dreaming was Great.. .Ansett 74 Olympics was great.. .BA 74's look good.. .Virgin Red stands out like a sore thumb.. .Even my little ole Baron is cool.

Whatever the designer of this??? was on I WANT SOME, it musta been one hellova trip...

Doesn't matter about the paint job. Tart it up how you like it's still a SLUG underneath.
