That A310 looks great in the BCAL livery IMHO! 

FWIW noise abatement should never compromise safety.. IMHO (again) it's usually  from a bunch of NIMBYs (not-in-my-back-yard) who move close to an airport decades after the airport first opened and then have the gall to complain about aeroplanes using the airport!

I digress.. I looked at all the pictures on your other thread: Beautifully done, sir!

Thank you for sharing your flight!

Kind Regards,

Great pictures, Aharon, of the A310 in this livery...the Caledonian "lion rampant" logo on the tail is quite striking....!

***Excellent***

Excellent pictures, Aharon. Just one question: is it me, or you were flying an A300 instead? If so, which model?
