Default Slick looking Saab

Hey I was just in LFT yesterday and noticed a very slick painted Mesaba Saab in Delta Colors. For us saab drivers its always nice to see a newly painted one cause it hides the fact of how old and crappy the plane is... But hey its fun to fly!!

say what you want, but for a girl with 40,000+ cycles, she still looks pretty good.

I dunno... the forward part of the vertical fin should have been blue to match the rest of the tail, and the "widget" doesn't even come close to fitting on the tail. I think it is an awkward scheme. And who in their right mind paints a prop white? You need more dark colors to hide the stains!

I saw a Saab in LFT last week in this new livery (same airplane maybe?) and I personally thought it looked pretty good.
