ASA Ship 849

[katanabob]

Didn't we try to kill this airplane a while back by breaking the gear on landing in ATL, aka Slider 2? I think she'll be around for a while!

Actually, wasn't it Slider 3? I thought 1 and 2 were both Brasilias.

Kudzu?

How 'bout we paint it with a Kudzu vine to symbolize the way we're slowly taking over the flying throughout the South.

"In ASA history this week...
Five years ago, on Nov. 19, 1999, ASA unveiled a special livery for one of its 50-seat CRJs that featured the City of Atlanta and commemorated the airline's 20th anniversary. The livery, mostly green, blue and peach, depicted Atlanta's skyline, Stone Mountain and the phrase "Celebrating 20 Years." Ship N849AS still wears this special livery"

Any idea how much longer we have to deal with this paint scheme?

Any rumors about Blue Bonnett once we pull out of DFW?

Ditch the "Ghetto Jet"? Copy Dat!

JThose Winnebeggos were "hot" in the day, and I am not just talking about the lack of air conditioning.

Are you inferring that the Shorts is not a sexy airplane?

 

[Ailerongirl]

The original had a peach painted on the tail before it was painted solid blue. Apparently it looked like a bare arse. Wish I had a pic...

It really looked like a butt...I did a double take the first time I saw it. I had a camera ready for the next time, but it had already been redone by then.

What happened to the Olympic paint scheme?

What happened to the Olympic paint scheme?

Ship 869 Olympic has been repainted into the Wavy Gravy. Only thing denoting what it used to wear is a small plaque on the forward bulkhead facing the door. Skywest is still running their Olympicjet around with just a white tail though.

Only logojets we have now are 849 Ghettojet (good name whoever came up with that), 869 Bluebonnet (so much for that one), 740 Silver and Soaring, and 920 with the "100 CRJs and Climbing" megatitles.

Haven't seen the PansyJet (Blue Bonnet) in a while. Should've kept the Olympic scheme and ditched that one.

Is there only one "Silver and Soaring" plane? Maybe my brain has been fried by all the naps I've been doing, but I thought I heard something about there being a problem with the first one so they painted another and now we have 2.

738 is also the Silver and Soaring scheme. I think 738 was one of the airplanes that flew sideways, and it wasn't looking like BBD would be able to get it to us before the "celebration." So, they painted the next one off the line in the same scheme, just to make sure we had one for all the "festivities".

Ship 920 should say "100 CRJs and climbing at 300 feet per minute".

Hey! 500 feet per minute now that it's winter!
