Naked As A RareBird?


What do you say to a naked airliner? Your guess is as good as mine. This unpainted Boeing 737-700 is actually destined for the Royal Australian Air Force as an early warning aircraft. It's headed there for some test flights, then will return to the Boeing plant outside Seattle for final installation of the military gear, and getting painted.

Aircraft enthusiasts consider this jet "green" for the protective coating over the aluminum skin, or naked for not being painted.

This shot probably belongs on my other blog HNL RareBirds.
