Default SQ 2nd A380 9V-SKB & QF A380 Read To Go...?
SQ 2nd A380 9V-SKB
. - 08.12.2007 Airbus A380 MSN 005 "Singapore Airlines" F-WWSB

SQ also again painted the 9V-SKB a bit differently in terms of the "SINGAPORE AIRLINES" title, it had moved forward in compare to the 9V-SKA again due to "Feng Shui"

So does this mean that 9V-SKA has "bad Feng-Shui"? I wonder if SIA will repaint and resposition the title on this bird.

What's the difference between the "P" or the "O" crossing the upper deck door? IMO, SQ should just eliminate the upper deck door to avoid any "bad Feng-Shui"!

They need to keep the ska painted the way it is. Kind of like a special addition, it has some character and a story that way.

Yeah, that's right. But why did they change it now, especially on the -Kilo Bravo ? Why not go original

Well, I would say that the Qantas is, well, not ready to go, seeing as it has no engines.

Good to see our Qantas A380 is coming along though... Can't wait to see her all liveried up

Better than that, I'm anticipating that we'll end up with a 'Dreaming' A380 of some sort in the not too distant future!

And I've been dreaming of that ever since the rumour was floated. Be sure to keep us informed if you hear anything on that.

If QF do a special, it will be airframe 2 or after same as Wanula (OJB).
I think they will wait a while but I hope I'm wrong and I think it should be different to Wanula cause that livery is getting old and boring now.

Agreed! Wunala was the OJB, and then OEJ (a lot further down the order for the ER). Nalanji also wasn't the first of the -300's, even though the 300s had been in service for quite some time before Nalanji was painted up!

I'm also hoping for a new Dreaming design for the 380 if it's going to happen at all... but Wunala on it would still be special... a new design would be more welcomed I feel.

Wunala is more recognisable though, and for similar reason I think Cathay Pacific painted the same Asia's World City scheme on their newest B773ER.

This post seems really broken and unflowing... I think I've got to wake up a bit.
