The WestPac livery could be encountered on several aircraft in variations on the basic Western Pacific livery; however, most of the aircraft were painted in colorful logojet schemes. They included advertisements for:
United's former Maintenance base in OAK is now a billboard that you can park six 747-400s inside. Sad--the Port of Oakland really has sold billboard space on the doors.
