That's a big change!

Didn't expect them to keep the silver body.
The tail is "attention getting".

I think this will grow on me over time.

I wasn't sure about the new livery at first, just from the images in the launch, but I must say that it looks great on the real aircraft. I'm also delighted to see they have kept a bit of the eagle in the logo.

No, Wayne's still crying over the change from the 1934 logo.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the new look. Maybe it will grow on me, but my first impression isn't in favor of it.

LOL...! I like it... That video gave me goosebumps actually. My first thought is that I'm going to miss the A/A on the tail; looks a little busy to me now. But I think it will grow on me. Waiting for for McPhat repaints on this one! :D

The new eagle is "ok" (not crazy about it, it's just ok). Don't like the tail, too busy as someone mentioned. Overall I'll not real happy with the new livery.

It is grey. All the next gen aircraft are made of plastic, so have to be painted, hence the move away from polished metal
now.
