Aharon, this paint-job (white Shamrock on green background) on the 757's tail is quite striking...looks so different, from the standard Aer Lingus liveries, that I am (typically) used to...

Nice set, here, and good Dublin airport arrival images...!

I did a search for latest Aer Lingus livery and couldn't find that one! However, it does look great: The hexagon shapes on the tail echo Emirates livery even though their's is triangles, but I think you know what I mean.

Highbypass,

Thanks for your kind words.  If you like the livery, it is available on this website: https://www.adrastea.de/?fbclid=IwAR2wdCa6LqS4vjqRLFBcDzhUlinxRvGfrtoe4OI_JjjKKDE8Ip3du_-GO2A

Nice pics Aharon! That livery is great too, especially the tail. Looks like they used a jetBlue template.

NWATech,

Thanks for your kind words and nice to meet you on Avsim forums. Did not know that the tail is similar to JetBlue.

Regards,

Aharon
