I like the old KLM livery a lot—that dark-blue stripe adds some variety to a livery that might otherwise be too aesthetically perfect and simple!

 

 

I believe it is because it is a stretched upper deck (SUD) variant, which makes it appear similar to a B747-300.

Thanks Stian for the info. I didn't know that.

Hard to beat a Classic 747 at TNCM, and you captured it brilliantly, Stian! Hope to see more shots like this in future.

Those sucked so bad I just stared at them for about five minutes :-) NICE WORK!
