Spirit of NKS

N501NK was involved in the windshear accident operating for Windjet in Italy and then scrapped. N515NK is in Miami.

I sat next to a JetBlue pilot on a flight once who said they ferry their A320s to the paint shop in New Mexico every 5 years for a repaint. 534 came in Feb 2008 and has factory paint. My guess is at most airlines, it would be due for a compete repainting. I'm sure we will fly it until all the white paint has fallen off and they have to spray paint "Spirit" on the side in blue.

Keep in mind that paint isn't just design. It is corrosion prevention. That is why jet blue does it. I guess the skin gets the same attention as the leather seats.

Yikes, yeah that thing is a pure embarrasment. I swear if you look at the right side just in front of the wing, it looks like it says BET in the tiger striping.

Our new A320 just did its acceptance flight this morning. It doesn't have sharklets for those wondering.
