However, it illustrated to me loud and clear that the Colgan brand needs to go. In particular the hedious ( in my opinion ) so-called, "Captain America" paintjob. It isn't so much that I dislike the livery, but almost every SAAB painted in this livery looks terrible due to the age and upkeep on these airplanes. Add some "blue juice" streaked down the side, and I want to put a bag over my head before I walk in the terminal.
