Thanks! I really love it too- the livery is simple but still helps the plane stand out!

Right? It was a great day for spotting- super lucky for this kind of day in Chicago haha.

I’ve never seen a A330F. I knew they existed, but that livery on it looks tremendous!

I remember when I went spotting at ORD I missed a UA star Alliance because I was at Portillios ordering a hot dog

You know what they say,

“ACE is the place where you dont want to be because a special livery or plane will go right over you”
