Witness the painting of Scoot’s first aircraft in this rather-entertaining time-lapse video (from Scoot’s YouTube page):
After asking members of the social media public to suggest and vote for names to represent their aircraft, this Boeing 777-200 with registration ‘9V-OTA’ (ex Singapore Airlines with registration ‘9V-SQA’) has been christened ‘Barry’.
I must say that Scoot’s aircraft livery — in this video, pictures, and in the flesh — is kind of outstanding in its own right. Previously, when there were only mock-ups of the livery in pictures and on a scaled model, it wasn’t the most aesthetically-pleasing design to look at.
My best wishes to Scoot on their continual success!
(And on a side note, any bets on when 9V-OTA was actually painted?)
Interested to know when OTA was painted!
Actually, I can’t work that out either.
There are a few things in the video that doesn’t make sense when you put it all together.
Take note of the aircraft rego on the front landing gear throughout the first half of the video, and you’ll follow my drift.
