Nice to hear an Irish voice on the RT....anyone know him?

Possibly an ex FR man....

cuterob

Skip to the 1:00 mark in this, could be him, I know a few lads who jumped from FR to Norwegian recently, but they are flying short haul on the 738 the ones I know

Legend @ cuterob cool sounds like the man in question.

It's such a shame they destroyed a beautiful machine with that livery. Is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time understanding how they came up with it? 😊

homerjay2005

was there when it was in, very impressive bird, beast of engines on it.

The flying tampon?
Looks dreadful alright.

Flying tampon, I like it. It'd be a lot nicer if it was either all red or all white.

Perfect description.

It's a definitive example of to make a balls of a beautiful aircraft.

Is it in Dublin for tail portrait?

I did see pics online that were taken inside H6. Didn't think they did painting in there.

I visited a norwegian one in Malaga last summer - landed just after me. 16 stripes in the cockpit :eek:(they were doing a bit of training), one of them was a very nice lad from Cork! Might have been him

Agreed. I never liked it. There is something very odd looking about the Norwegian livery :eek: I could say what it reminds me of, but I'll refrain. At the same time though, the tails are very impressive.

I think if the transition from white to red on the fuselage was slanted rather than vertical, the livery would be quite nice and original. Agreed the tails are great-looking.

A slanted gradient would be nice, and a less intense red.

Within the next hour, or around 5pm do you know?

Dublinflyer

Well scheduled time is 1700 but the crew are on board, doors closed and tug attached. They could be running some tests but they look pretty ready from here.

Great pix and videos. Love the 10 minute Norwegian Air video.

Fantastic bird, state of the art. Look forward to a trip on one.

Yeah it is a quite one and the fact that it was empty as well would have meant it would be even quieter than normal.

Madme

more pics!
