Airplane Porn: Air France Goes Retro

Filed under: Air France, Airplane Porn;
I’m happily recovering from yesterday’s turkey-induced stupor, so there’ll be no writing for me today. Instead, let’s take a look at some fun-filled airplane porn! This time, we head across the Atlantic to check out Air France’s new A320 retrojet.

I believe that’s one of the biggest registrations I’ve seen painted on a modern airplane. Still, it looks pretty good to me. This shot comes courtesy of Guillaume Besnard. Click to see more of his photos. I’ll be back on Monday as usual.

Tres chic, Cranky. Hope all you patriots are suitably tryptophaned-out after you turkey extravaganza yesterday. On Airbus-related stories, did you catch the news about the A320 that went down on a test flight yesterday in Europe? Coverage has been very minimal, no ideas what went wrong.

Thanks Dan and Axel. I was trying to find a relatively quiet time to launch the new look in case things went bad, but you guys found it within the hour! I’ll be tweaking the site all weekend to make sure everything is right, and I’ll have a post with more info on Monday.

If anyone sees any broken links or formatting problems, please send them my way (cf *at* crankyflier.com).

LOVE me some retro looks. The orange lightning bolt on the AA 757 was just plain sexy! I’d just love it if every airline painted at just one aircraft in a retro scheme. Imagine a 777 in Continental’s old colors? And it’d be nice to see the JAL Flying Crane again.
