In other special livery news, an MU 77W - reads 'National Museum of China' if I'm correct - and as usual, with some ridiculously cutesy and colourful artwork.
Cheerful and buoyant!
I've been wanting a 'white' MU 77W - this is going to be it I guess, finally.
Low res so reg is guesswork

You can barely make out 7882. Plus if you look at the fleet info, there’s 2 77Ws in maintenance and only one ends in a 2.
Really terrible news
I guess Hekla Aurora will be following soon...
They're both crap, to be honest. New one have green engines and tail, which is an improvement, in my opinion. On the other hand, they got rid of the belly icons, which looked quite cool, and the whole thing still looks very bland like 99% of recent liveries out there, so basically they didn't improve over the previous one. Waste of money
Their 2000s livery with the blue and green stripes was so smart!

I've heard from a source, who I believe to work for Icelandair, that Hekla Aurora is going to be retired around the 14th of next month.
Yesterday Oslo (Norway) and Copenaghen (Denmark) airports have been closed because "not identified large drones" flying over their air space. All flights delayed and many troubles for passengers. Today both airports are operative.
A missed collision at Nice Airport between a landing Nouvelair A320 and a departing easyJet A320 two days ago.
"The Nouvelair Airbus A320 descended on runway 04R instead of 04L, allegedly due to poor weather conditions, at around 11.30pm. According to Flightradar24, it passed just 50 feet above the easyJet Airbus A320 before performing a go-around. The aircraft landed safely on runway 04L about 15 minutes later".

From Aviation24.be
A serious accident was narrowly avoided on Sunday night (21st of September) at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport when a Nouvelair Airbus A320 (TS-INP) aborted its landing just moments before a possible collision with an easyJet aircraft on the runway.
According to initial reports, flight BJ586 from Tunis was on final approach around 11:30 p.m. when it aligned with the wrong runway. At the same time, an easyJet Airbus A320 (OE-IJZ) had already begun its takeoff roll. The Nouvelair crew executed a go-around at low altitude, preventing disaster.
The Tunisian airline later said the attempt to land took place under “particularly difficult weather conditions,” citing heavy rain and poor visibility. Aviation experts noted that the airport’s parallel runways and lighting may also have contributed to the confusion.
French broadcaster France 3 reported that several passengers were left “in shock” following the near miss. Witnesses on board the easyJet aircraft said the pilot braked hard during the takeoff roll, sending “a shockwave through the cabin.” The Nouvelair pilots simultaneously applied full thrust to abort the landing and regain altitude. According to one passenger, the easyJet captain later emerged from the cockpit visibly shaken, admitting he felt “no longer capable of flying” after the incident. The passengers were accommodated overnight in a hotel before continuing their journey to Nantes the following day.
No injuries were reported, but France’s civil aviation safety bureau (BEA) has opened an investigation, describing the event as a “serious incident.” The flight recorders from both aircraft have been seized, and investigators will interview crews and air traffic controllers to determine the exact sequence of events.
JUST TO UNDERSTAND, 50 FEET ARE 15 METERS, REALLY TOO CLOSE!
