Side view of a white, twin propellor-engined airliner just leaving a black runway, moving from right to left, it's nosewheel in the air,

I love this livery, simple and elegant yet effective.

But then, I'm half Scottish, and love a bit of tartan.

Bonus Photo of the Day 17th April 2025.

Side view of a light blue, high-winged, twin propellor-engined airliner taxiing from right to left. The plane is mostly light blue, with a darker blue stripe outlined in white running along the body just below the passenger cabin windows. There is the white outline of a square, with the corners rounded off, and containing a white, 7 pointed star, on the upper forward fuselage between the cockpit windows and the forward door, with white "Maersk Air" titles just aft of the door, although only the first 4 letters are visible, hidden behind the white engine pods poking out from the wings. A larger version of the same square and star logo appears on the tail, with a smaller version on the side of the engine pods, just behind the propellors at the front. The registration "OY-MMH" is on a fillet at the front of the tail, in white. The main undercarriage is attached to open bays in the rear of the engine pods, on large retractable legs. A brown wicker fence fills the foreground, the plane almost seeming to be taxiing along the top of it, with green grass in the background leading up to a grass covered berm in the background on the right, and red and brown roofs of houses on the left, under grey skies.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner flying from right to left at a low altitude, with undercarriage lowered and flaps extended from behind the wings, suggesting it is about to land. The plane has a white fuselage, with blue "Air Serbia" titles on the forward fuselage, covering some of the passenger cabin windows. These titles are repeated in red under the fuselage, under the fairings where the wings meet the body. The registration "YU-APF" is on the upper rear fuselage in black, repeated under the outer pane of the left wing. The tail is red at the top and dark blue at the bottom, with an elaborate white outline of a 2 headed eagle with outstretched wings, the middle section coloured light blue. The engine pods under the wings are red on top and white at the bottom, with a dark blue stripe swooping from the lower front to the upper rear. Grey sky fills the rest of the frame.
