Which is uglier?

This one or the Delta one?

I've always liked that one, except the mis-matched nose cone yanked off of something else is a downright shame.

All the white on the Delta paint job sorta makes its butt look fat. :)

I like big butts and I cannot lie...

(well, not really, but it had to be said)

saw that one in GFK last week. it looked like they didn't repaint the tail when when they did the rest becuase it was all faded and peeling
 
Funny (but sad) story regarding this airplane...

According to one of our MX admin guys that was down in GLH coordindating btwn 9E and the paint shop, apparently the paint shop completely screwed the pooch with this first one.

He was saying that with a Saab, the paint shop is only supposed to remove the actual coat of paint, not the primer, because it somehow messes up the skin and it makes it unairworthy. Well, of course, they go ahead and do it anyway. :banghead:Turns out that they had to get a wavier from the FAA to keep it airworthy and the condition of the waiver is that can never be repainted again. So this paint job is it--if it needs to be repainted, it has to be scrapped....

I think that is one reason why 9E had him go down there with us....
