Challenge Air Cargo was founded in 1976 as CAL Airlines in Israel. The company currently has three operating airlines - Challenge Airlines IL in Israel, Challenge Airlines BE in Belgium, and Challenge Airlines MT in Malta. Challenge Airlines MT has recently taken delivery of its first 777-300ERSF Freighter - 9H-CAZ. Two more are on order. -
To celebrate America’s Semiquincentennial in 2026, FedEx applied large America 250 titles to 767-300F N245FE “Emily.” This 767 also features FedEx’s “new” markings which delete the Express titles and engine logos. -
Central Airlines of China operates a small fleet of 777F freighters. Two of those aircraft feature a basic white “albino” scheme with the colorful tail logo and gray titles. B-227W adds a bit of color with special Katowice Cargo City stickers. -
In 2025, DHL added special markings to Kalitta-operated 777F N774CK to advertise its Health Logistics operations. The aircraft retains its basic DHL colors, with a new tail logo replacing the DHL logo and “Health Logistics” titles added above the mid-fuselage stripes. -
Northwest Orient Airlines operated a large fleet of 707-300s, five of which were the B model and 31 of the C model with a main deck cargo door. A few of the 707-351Cs were operated as pure freighters, and they lasted until about 1978 when they were replaced with the much larger 747-200F. Our decal depicts the standard “thermometer” scheme for the 707-351C -
In 2025, Kalitta Air introduced the world’s first 777-300ER converted freighter. The Israeli Aircraft Industries (IAI) -300ERSF conversion is the first to reach delivery among several that are planned for former passenger versions of what is currently the largest commercial twin. This decal provides the markings for the first four Kalitta airframes. -
In 2023, Hong Kong-based Cathay Pacific introduced an updated corporate branding for its cargo operations, dropping “Pacific” from its name. The airline’s aircraft retained the same base color scheme, with new, larger titles. This decal provides the markings for the airline’s fleet of 747-400F freighters. -
In October 2024, DHL moved two of its 777Fs from DHL UK to Central Airlines of China. The aircraft retain the basic DHL colors, with a new tail logo replacing the DHL logo and new titles above the mid-fuselage stripes, replacing the large DHL titles.
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?Â
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: Â 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. Â 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.
