I really like NW's body color - how many airlines use a metallic paint scheme? It looks so much better than plain metallic silver too, because it is slightly cream color, or champagne, if you will.

And the simple red tail to go along with it ... they did a great job.

Love it very much!

What about VS? I think it is very similar to NW's.
