That's a sharp looking airplane. Sounds like only one WestJet employee on board for the time being though.

N reg? Fresh paint? Non WJ pilots? Let me paint my bicycle white, put my Junior WestJeter sticker on there and call my self WestJet. About the same. Never the less, best looking airplane ever with a sharp paint job.

IMHO pretty good of them to at least make a leased airplane look like it's part of the fleet......

We are leasing this Boeing 757-200 from North American Airlines from February 12 to April 30, 2011 to increase capacity on the only daytime scheduled non-stop flights between Alberta and Hawaii. Full details of our non-stop Edmonton-Hawaii service http://bit.ly/fV5Bge and Calgary-Hawaii service http://bit.ly/gfaXvc.

But what do I know. I guess they should have dropped 50K on a full paint job and then had a bunch of people complain it wasn't really theirs to paint....just no pleasing some people.

[200hr Wonder]

It wold not surprise me at all if they plane is all white, and then the lessee is free to put decals on. Doubt they would be paint the entire plane for just a few months service.

One way or the other, that thing is SEXY.

[Stoptheworld]

No freakin' seat back TV.

Now I gotta try to pack all kinds of gizmos through security to keep the kidlets amused for 7 hours. Plus, I gotta pay for booze!!!



Does look sharp though

[loopa]

I hope they get more planes like this in the future as part of their fleet WJA scheme on a bigger plane looks cool! Especially with this design.

[dieselbro]

Cool looking plane! I wonder how things will play out after the lease is up.

Why doesn't Westjet get some 737-900 ER's ?

WestJet has looked hard at the 900ER but the 800 has better numbers for ETOPS flying. The 900ER is similar to the A321 and is more suited to short haul.

Never the less, best looking airplane ever with a sharp paint job.

...Ahh, No. That would be the Spitfire. or Concorde.

The 757 does come in a very close 3rd, though!

Come on, the best looking plane ever is the Ekranoplan:

Clearly, you know dick all about airplanes.

Sexy airplanes look like this:

I saw this up close one day in Memphis, and it looks truly spectacular. The photos don't do it justice:

[DaveP]

That's a pretty cool paint job!

Any idea who owns it?

[Gannet167]

If I remember right, it's owned by Russian Standard, which runs some banks and produces Russian Standard Vodka.

[Mclovin]

That's a bad ass paint job on that russian rig.

[bmc]

How about Roman Abramovich's 763 "The Bandit"

Who owns the various aircraft types (L1011,B-747SP,B-767) with the blue stripes you always see in the bizjet area in Las Vegas?
