Air France changed one its A320 into a Caravelle. Enjoy!

:wub:
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I like it! Seriously tasteful looking retro there.

Air France should reinstitute their old scheme fleet wide if it looks that good on their current aircraft.

Nice!  I'm guessing it's something to do with Air Frances 75th anniversary?
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

You guessed well!  ;D

The A320 looks really lovely with its small black nose...

Nice retro scheme, the Lufthansa retro A321 comes in here at Edinburgh now and then. Always nice to see the old schemes. Thanks for posting it!

Nice scheme, bad choice of plane. The A32X family has too large a nose cone. Shouldnt have retired the 737-500s :thumbsup: :wub:

How cool! That scheme just fits the A320! Would be nice to see some other lines do the same.....perhaps a GB would do for now? :D
