The blue and gold stripes make it seem that this jet is smiling for the camera. The long nose of the MD-80, combined with the eyebrow cockpit windows, and the right striping gives the impression of a smiling jet. For those old enough to remember Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA), they had a smile painted on to their entire fleet, and was well-known for their "Grinning Birds".
This China Eastern Airlines MD-82 is taking a break at HNL after island hopping across the Pacific from Shanghai, China. It's headed for the Arizona desert, after being retired from the China Eastern fleet.
I got this head-on shot while photographing the rest of this bird for the HNL RareBirds blog.
