It’s Sunday again, so it must be time for some more airplane art.
This week, we have a British Airways Boeing 747-400, painted in the Golden Speedbird BOAC Livery – celebrating 100 years of the airline as it climbs out of Chicago O’Hare, commencing the 7-hour flight or so back to London Heathrow.
I’ve written extensively about this aircraft in the first public reveal of it, an article later that day, as well as more technical article about shooting this aircraft when it was revealed.
British Airways operate a fleet of 31 Boeing 747-400 aircraft as part of its long haul fleet.
The airline also operates the following other types in their long haul fleet:
- Airbus A350
- Airbus A380
- Boeing 777-200
- Boeing 777-200ER
- Boeing 777-300ER
- Boeing 787-8
- Boeing 787-9
The aircraft G-BYCG is configured with a Super-Hi J configuration. Seating is made up of:
- 14 First Class open suites (first class)
- 86 Club World Seats (business class)
- 30 World Traveller Plus seats (premium economy)
- 145 World Traveller Seats (economy)
The plane is configured with a Gogo 2Ku dome, and Panasonic ex3 In-Flight Entertainment System.
And yes. It’s G-BYCG. Trust me.
More airplane art next week!
