I assume that big silver section is the bottom of a door, wonder why it can't be painted? Looks odd.

I would imagine it's to prevent paint being scraped off during loading.

I would imagine it's to prevent paint being scraped off during loading.

Or it's a shock barrier to absorb the loads from a loader as it mates with the fuselage, given the original airframe was a passenger aircraft from Australian that would not have been expecting impacts in that area.

She has worn a similar livery before being the former VH TAU

Both of those are much too logical reasonings for AFF

But thanks for the possibilities

Also a different font and colour on the word Freight compared to the 767.
Presume we will see the same scheme for the 747 due this year.

I also note the former AAE depot at SYD has been rebranded along similar lines.

Any reason why the 763 doesnt have a roo?

I love the 734F!
