First time I saw that I thought it was YOKO ONO! AAAAAggghhh
yeah that's kind of a pisser that such a wanted release comes with a dated or limited marking rather than the generic version.

LAME!
Anyone knows why Air Tranie chose custard to colour the fuselage of its aircraft? The 737 looks great. The 717 is a shocker.
That's in no reference to the mould mind you!

Because non-typical DL widget 727's didn't get enough angry postings, GJ decided to make another "anything EXCEPT the version people asked for" plane.

And why did Gemini Jets do THIS model in this livery? Not that my opinion matters, but I think this was a poor decision on Gemini's part. I THINK more people would've rather seen this particular model in the "regular" livery. Oh well.

I like special colors so for me it's great, besides the regulars will come in due time.

They already did the new colors B737s, by the way I hope they, or anyone for that matter does the original AirTran's B737-200 colors too.
