I love this angle!

Congratulations to the new airline & to the photographer. Cheers!

Good shot !

Thank you Erez! The #1 spotter in Israel!
Or may be #2? Sender is #1?

Livery is a bit bland.

It's amazing that this aircraft is still flying after such a long history! To have been flying with CP Air definitely makes it a workhorse. I hope it stays in one piece and serves the company well.

Great Photo !!
ErezS is the BEST !!

Nice livery. Love that green belly.

Great shot!

I saw it landing in LLBG while driving at the highway, and she looked good!

A nice simple yet effective livery, captures the colours well. Any chance anyone has the website for this new airline? What routes do they operate?

I love oranges and 747 - 200s so 5 stars

Great shot but frankly, I could've painted the livery better myself when I was making an Airfix at age 6! The livery looks cheap and very nasty!

Started in big style!

Nice pic, dont you guys think its looks kina like PIA 1990's livery, jut green on the belly

Interestingly, two photos of this plane, taken 20 years apart, are uploaded the same day!
See photo 985637
Still flying! Still orange!

I don't like the tail, but everything else looks great.

Oh! This is The Ex- PIA (Pakistan International Airlines). Pakistan Sold This Aircraft TO Israeli Airline ?

BTW Nice Shot

ErezS
You are the best!

Good to see a new African 747 operator...I bet it's an ex PIA machine!!

Thay probably used PIA's leftover paint scheme and put an orange on the tail :)
Nice photo!

Nice shot, like the tail design.

Exceting new airline and colours!

I was at TLV earlier today and I saw this a\c and I was wondering what it was. Now I know!

Nice shot but also I must agree that we could do better(painting the orange or tangerine) at age six!!

So what's next? Vodka Airlines?

I like this orange,coz long time i was waiting to fly for this airline

Great shot, I like the paintjob except for the tail.

It is also very nice to see a good old 747-200 still alive and kicking. It is the only Boeing widebody I have ever flown on, nice aircraft.

Where did you stand to take this shot? Me, i can only recommend the Parking of ELDAN when rwy 30 is in use. Another possibility is to stand near to the fuel station at the entry of llbg for rwy 30.

Its a nice angle and a nice plane.and its a new airline its cool=)

I think this photo was taken between "Airport city" (hi-tech zone) and road #40, since I've been there few times.

Oh how it does make me happy to see one of the ex 747-217B CP's still flying. Hmmm, I wonder if they would consider painting it ORANGE? Hehehe :) Maybe a red stripe with a bare aluminum belly. I think I saw that once and it looked really good. ;)

The angle and lighting are good, and the fact that this is a "one & only" aircraft makes it more noteworthy. I saw this bird parked on the apron at TLV last month. Now when looking at the aircraft's history, I am quite sure that I was onboard many years ago when the paint scheme was indeed orange (good ol' CP Air). Keep up the good work, Erez.
