Just a fun topic,
What are all your favorite airline paint schemes? International or Domestic, it does not matter.
My favorite right now is LAN Chile. The all white front half, mixed with all ble back half, with the red and white star on the tail. Havent seen much better.

Miss those birds, them and TWA...

Pan Am is tough to beat purely due to the nostalgia factor.
But as an Indian who will try to never, ever fly Air India, I do still appreciate the individual/decorative window trim on their aircraft. And in the background of one of the pictures another one of my favorites (I'm cheating, though, since it's Cathay's Special "World City" Livery).

Kulula isn't so bad..... :lol:

Gotta be Kululu or Air New Zealands A320 in the black and grey rugby All Blacks promotional color scheme, that was fantastic and should be their permanent paint job.

A little more nostalgia... Here's a picture that I took way back when... Nothing like a 727, Joey ! :lol:

Tough to pic an overall favorite. Also different paint schemes look better on certain airplanes, but here are some favorites:
Gulf Air L1011 "Golden Falcon"
TWA late 90s-2000s livery with globe on forward fuselage 717, 727, 747, 757.
United SUD-210 Caravelle
Canadian 747-400 "Proud Wings"
EVA 777-300 in special "777-300ER" colors
Cargolux 747-8F with red tail
Boeing Dreamliner livery on 737 (Alaska), 747-400 (China Air Lines), and 787. The Red/orange dreamliner livery on the 747-8i especially stunning.
Singapore 747 in standard livery & Tropical livery, Concorde
Cathay Pacific "Spirit of Hong Kong" on 747-200 and variation on 747-400
British Airways: the many "World Tails", Concorde in the livery with blue on top half of tail and red cheatline running down fuselage above pax windows.
Thai Airways International MD-11 old livery
Olympic 707
Virgin Atlantic 747-400 and A340 livery where the fuselage looks silver and has a broad blue border forward and under the red on the tail.
Korean Air lines A380
Air India 747-400 old colors
Aeroflot Il-96 new colors (silver)
Vietnam 777
It is much easier to answer the question of ugliest paint scheme: Any aircraft from any airline where the fuselage is all white with the only color being on the tail...I've heard them called "White Whales" Billboard titles are also very ugly.

Favorite is prolly Qantas.

We are not looking for celebration paint schemes, just the every day colour schemes....

Ahhh yes, the old Whisperjet...lol! 727 is good, still like the 747 better... :-P :-D

My favourite out of range of possible catagories are Gulf Air, Etidhad (especially F1) and American Airlines.
-
wow! that gulf air is awesome! is that their usual paint scheme or is that a signature series jet?
