First United 744 in new livery
 

United’s first 744 entered the paint shop yesterday to get the new livery with Continental tail. Should be out in about two weeks and then you could see it in SYD/MEL anytime after that. Just a heads up for those wanting get some new livery pic’s.

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks Ben, any idea which one?

I have been catching up on snapping the United 744's by changing to afternoon visits to SYD lately. With up to 3 a day over the holiday period I now have photos of 12 machines I never had before! I only wish I had taken more photos of the previous schemes!

Hi Peter,

N127UA is the first to get the new paint.

Not sure if you have 171 (the oldest) yet, but it's headed that way today. It hasn't been down there for quite a while.

Cheers,

Ben

Thanks again Ben.

Yep just seen N171UA on acars.

Haven't got photos of either of these two.

That would be the continental livery with united titles.

127 coming out of paint today and should be back in service 2/23. Keep an eye out down there later in the week ;)

arghh I've got like 20 photos of 171, she stalks.. be glad to see the back of her and some new liveries :D

A tiny bit off topic but when I was recently in Toyko I saw 3 of the new 777's in the new livery and I have to say they looked better than I thought they would.

Heres 127 in the new scheme. I dont mind the look of it.. its different.
Thanks to Bernie P for the link.

That looks really good, the colours certainly suit the 744, the United titles just look out of place.
