Its first new livery passenger flight was appropriately to JFK.
I really like the way it looks.

The British Airways BOAC Retro Jet B744 Tail B-BYGC Ship GC first trip was to JFK after coming back from being painted. I'm glad British Airways did right with LHR-JFK being the first route.

Interesting that the paint job was completed in Dublin Eire and not in the UK. Not sure if BA outsources all of it's paint jobs to Dublin but I suspect they may catch some flack over this.
