Boeing 747-400M


Boeing 747-400M

One of South African's 747-400M Combi aircraft, used on high density, long haul routes to North America and Oceania. SAA has 4 of these aircraft, with plans to replace them with 777-300ER aircraft in the early 2020s.

This aircraft is seen in the modern day livery.



    Okay this is awesome! The only thing that throws me off, is the blue text. I feel like it could've been green or maybe black to fit with the rest of the design.

    I figured the blue ties in the other colour of the flag, and just adds a layer of brightness to the livery!

    Oh, I see. Imo, the yellow already adds enough brightness to the livery. But designers choice! Still looks cool. ^_^

    The blue makes it look like a rental or ACMI aircraft as opposed to part of the permanent fleet.  It's so different; it doesn't work.

    At first I thought the blue looked good, but now that I've read this, I can't unsee it... apart from that detail though, this is lovely!

    I didn’t want it black because it was on the Apartheid-era liveries. I wanted it to be brighter to showcase the fact that it was a new South Africa.

    Nice!

    Nice!

    Thanks!

    Very nice. The colour scheme and the logo remind of the John Deere colours and logo
