ANA — the Droids you’re looking for

ANA was the first to paint an aircraft in a special Star Wars livery and has gone on to paint a total of four aircraft in Star Wars-themed liveries. One, however, has since been repainted into standard ANA livery.

R2-D2

787-9 JA873A was the first to wear a special Star Wars livery and is painted to look like R2-D2.

  1. Some beautiful looking liveries there! Particularly like the ANA C-P3O livery.

  2. Gotta love the United Rise of Skywalker paint scheme. I saw it IAH the other day and she looked great.

  3. Is the United Airlines’ 737-800 registered N36272 – The Rise of Skywalker livery repainted already? Looking at JetPhotos it seems to have switched to a normal boring United paint job sometime in 2022. Unhappy I am.
