Duracell-Powered
This plane is likely a C-130 Hercules plane, and this specific one is all dressed up like a Duracell battery. We hope that it’s full of energy! While this is not one of the most intricately decorated plane, it is still very cool to see and quite recognizable.

The British Are Coming
This British Aerospace Hawk T-1A is used by the British Royal Air Force. It seems fitting that the British Royal Air Force would deck out their planes with the UK flag. These highly patriotic single engine jets are also made in Britain, the first of which was flown in 1974. They’ve been used for training since then.

This airplane is truly breathtaking: from the sharp, clean lines of the design to the color gradient that perfectly blends the orange, yellow, and red. This butterfly plane was created as a private prop airplane and is located in Arizona.

Fastest Soda
While this is a Concode plane that has the ability to travel at Mach 2, because it has a custom paint job on it, it can reach only 1.7 Mach. The reason is because to reach Mach 2, the plane must be plain white. However, we’re sure that 1.7 Mach is still fast enough for most!
Fastest Soda
Toy Story
To infinity, and beyond! This custom plane features a massive 30 foot Buzz Lightyear on it. China Eastern Airlines joined forces with Pixar to create this custom plane, which is seriously impressive. Passenger also had matching themed boarding passes.

This plane is a product of a collaboration between Rossi Airlines and AmurTiger. The Boeing 737 has a giant tiger mural painted on it, which required 500 kilos of paint in order to finish. That’s how huge it is! Amazingly, this painting was all done by hand.

Let It Go
Frozen was truly one of the most popular children’s animated films in recent times, and Canadian WestJet Airlines decided to capitalize on its popularity by adding this paint job on its planes. This took 170 gallons of paint in a range of 23 colors in order to accomplish. We think it was worth the effort, though!
Let It Go
Shark Tank
If you have a fear of sharks, then you might not like getting onto this aircraft. This Warthog A-10 features a detailed shark painting on it, and while this theme would have suited a submarine as well, we think that the idea of a flying shark is truly intimidating.
Shark Tank
Blue Digi-Camo
The top airplane is the Russian SU-57, and the one of the bottom is the US Air Force’s F-16. They both feature the digi-camo pattern and we think that only a true airplane expert would be able to tell the difference between these two from the sky.

This Beluga Airbus plane really does resemble a Beluga whale! Of course, whales don’t have wings, but we’re willing to overlook that. Whoever painted this plane really knew how to make it look just like the mammal.
