JetBlue unveils 'New York's finest' A320 special color scheme
JetBlue Airways (US) unveiled a special livery on Airbus A320 (MSN 1650 N531JL) in tribute to NYC's police department (NYPD). Named 'Blue Finest', this is the third name carried by this particular A320. Delivered new to JetBlue as N531JB Jan 2001 named 'Rhapsody in Blue', the aircraft was later sold to lessor GECAS, and delivered to Blue Wings of Germany Oct 2006 as D-ANNF. Blue Wings ceased operations Jan 2010 and the aircraft was leased back to JetBlue in Aug 2010, with the (slightly modified) new registration of N531JL, and named 'All Blue can Jet'. The aircraft was purchased off lease from GECAS Nov 2015. JetTrak will be doing a fleet feature on JetBlue soon, focused on the imaginative names applied to each of their aircraft.
