Not bad for a modern livery.

I knew there was something up when I posted the odd 'painted' N719AN the other day which sort of disappeared instead of reappearing a few days later as if something was about to happen. It was in primer then an overall grey with a different tail when normally it's primer then paint.

The old metal livery was great in the old days of metal aeroplanes but it's long past it's sell by date.

The first thought that went through my head was OMG it's Cubana! The old livery was definitely a bit dated but I wish the change wasn't so extreme.

It does feel like Cubana!!! Certainly not the worst modern scheme, which is perhaps damning it with faint praise. But the grey is drab, almost military and I don't like the billboard titles, nor the dropping of "Airlines". The flag tail is a bit of a mess, with all those intermediate graduated stripes. It won't last 40+ years like the last one.

Since Cuban* has been brought up...

Would I be going off topic if I mentioned the Cuban chic that lives a couple of doors down the road.

Chuffing 'eck lads. Next time put a health warning on posts referring to Cubana.

I just did a google image search. Top left image looked more like a couple of hindenburgs in close formation.......
