Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

First day of official operations on behalf of NATO. This TNT Boeing 757 joined the NATO fleet last Friday as a replacement for the retired Boeing 707TCA.

Yep, a rather grey-and-plain aircraft, but some beautiful skies in the background! :)

Will it stay this way. Or will it receive NATO Titles and a LX-N registration?

Nice shot though...

Best regards Rob.

It will stay this way. This aircraft is owned by TNT, and flown on behalf of the NATO. It's painted in dull grey due to it's flights for the NATO. A LX-N was allocated by NATO, but apparently TNT did not want that as it conflicts with their policy.
But maybe things are going to change, since TNT was bought by UPS, and the EU forced UPS to sell the airline of TNT. But that's for the future.
