That's one of the elements which is actually real (original photo: https://www.airliners.net/photo/IndiGo/Airbus-A321-271NX/5285531/L https://www.airliners.net/photo/IndiGo/Airbus-A321-271NX/528...) - the German flag (as well as the German registration and the MSN) are apparently added over the airline's paintjob until the plane has been delivered to the customer and is allowed to use its Indian registration (which is to the right of the Indian flag over the rear passenger windows, covered with a white sticker).
- Borrible 3y agoThey tack some stickers on their brands? Don't they have any sense of aesthetics? Thanks for the clarification.
- fredoralive 3y agoIt’s a temporary registration during test flights etc., so not much different than a dealer plate on a car? Planes are painted in the first user’s livery at the factory, and they’re hardly going to repaint the entire plane between test flights and delivery.
- usrusr 3y agoProbably a big part of the curiosity this picture creates is that some of the elements that look like really bad photoshop are actually real, but others are not. This is where the surprising entertainment value is. Almost reminds me a little of that oddly-colored dress that took the internet in 2015.
