Default Ugliest cargo paint job: Kalitta

http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1304804/M/
Kalitta is purchasing some new B747-400Fs from JAL. What are the odds that they'll slap this overly ugly paint job on the new fleet? I'm hoping Connie finally spends some money for a fresh new paint scheme. (hey there Morgan)

I thought that was why they only flew at night and parked away from the public at every airport they land at

Paint Smaint.....it just causes additional drag - who needs it!

I've always disliked UPS's jet paint schemes, but they've come a long way, baby. Now they look really nice. I especially like the old colors of their DC-8's. Perhaps it's because that's what I used to fly when I worked there.
Following is a link to what I've always felt a "real airliner" should look like: http://www.dc8.org/photos/display.php?file=01-04-hr.jpg
and the following link is a video of one of my usual landings in that jet

First year is pretty sweet comparably.

I like the Kalitta paint job, kinda retro ski lodge colors, before the neon invasion.

Default Yellow

DHL - wins the ugly paint job award. The newer the yellow paint is, the worse it looks.
