Neptune Aviation Services released this photo of the first of their BAe-146 air tankers to receive new livery.
Their description:
Here is a sneak peak at the new look the Neptune’s tankers will begin sporting in 2021. Tanker 01 getting ready to depart Spokane for Missoula. The new paint scheme will make it easier for both air and ground observers to identify Neptune aircraft. Tanker 10 is up next for the new look.
Below is the previous design:
The previous livery had the Montana state flag but no American flag. The company’s announcement said the new design has both.
The DC-10s operated by 10 Tanker will begin receiving new paint in January, John Gould, President and CEO of 10 Tanker told us.
