ounded in 1980, Aero Lloyd was a German charter airline. Initially operating with Caravelles, and then later MD-80s, the company switched to Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft in the late 1990s. The company went bankrupt in October 2003 and ceased all operations. Some aircraft continued flying in the U.S. through the Spring of 2004 on winter lease with Ryan International Airlines for Funjet Vacations and Trans Global Vacations. This decal provides the markings for the standard Aero Lloyd scheme, as well as the vacation charter titles. -
Denver, Colorado based Frontier Airlines rose from the ashes in 2004 operating 737-200s initially, then eventually becoming an all Airbus operation with A318, A319 and A320s. Frontier lasted until 2008 when they declared bankruptcy, eventually being purchased by Republic Holdings in 2009 then sold to Indigo Partners in 2013. Frontier continues to operate as its own entity, and each aircraft has a unique animal on its tail. This set is for Airbus A319 N947FR which has "Maya" the Jaguar on its tail. -
In September 2014, US Ultra Low-Cost carrier Spirit Airlines unveiled a new color scheme and corporate branding strategy. By its own proud declaration, the scheme is simple (the company preferring not to waste money on fancy paint), featuring a bright yellow aircraft with black markings. The first aircraft painted was Airbus A319 N534NK. In the Spring of 2015, A320s began receiving the new colors - N607NK was first, followed by Sharklet-equipped N641NK, delivered fresh from the factory. -
In early 2015, easyJet, England's premier low-cost carrier, unveiled a new color scheme for its aircraft. The geometric patterns add more orange to the overall aircraft. New delivery A320s are being painted in this new scheme, and the older A320s will likely also be repainted at some point.
About Draw Decal
Offering High Quality and Unique Aircraft Decals Since 1999!
How did we get our Name?
My father is a US Army-trained draftsman, and he always signed his drawings with the initials “DRAW.” Since we have to DRAW our decals, and DRAW is also the first four letters of my last name, it seemed to be a natural name for our company.
What is the idea behind DRAW Decal?
I produce airline decals that normally would not be popular enough to justify mass producing. Each decal is printed as demand warrants, one page at a time by a professional print house. This makes for slow production, but it allows us to individually inspect each decal and to also update the decal sets as the need arises. While these production sets are all currently available, they are only produced (i.e. printed) as they are ordered. I have no large pile of unsold, unpopular decals to contend with this way. Our decals are as close to custom-made as possible.
Who creates your art?
The art work for our decals is created by a group of artists, with each one contributing sets of their own unique design and preference. Currently, DRAW Decal offers decals designed by: Tim Bradley, Mike Egan, Norm Filer, Mike Jernfors, Jeff Thomsen and yours truly, Greg Drawbaugh. Each set is identified by whom designed it unless I was the one who designed it.
How do I do that?
Our decals are printed in our exclusive Next Generation DIGITAL Silk process using a large format digital printer that prints white ink. We do NOT sell ANY laser-printed decals. Laser printers are for printing instruction sheets, not printing decals.
We are made the switch to our latest Next Generation DIGITAL Silk process to provide what we believe to be among the highest quality decals in the industry. We also want to be able to provide subjects that just would not print well using any other process. Quality and value have always been our driving force, and we continue to push the limits of what our printer and artwork is capable of producing. We operate under a continual improvement process for all of our decals.
Do you run out of stock?
No, as I print decals only as they are ordered. This ensures that the decals are fresh and never out of stock. This also allows me to make corrections and additions to each set as they occur.
Once applied, these decals will look just like they were painted on, rather than just “stickers” applied over a paint job. Remember, the art of decaling is making it look like you did not use any decals!
Thanks for stopping by, and come back often to see what we have added.
