Maybe? Well, the Nose has finally been painted Yellow, so not just yet I imagine!

I think Hertz will be one of the last 200s in the fleet because it advertises Ryanairs partner. Vodaphone will also stick around until the end. The other logojets didnt really advertise as much as those 2. Jaguar was just nice to look at but I dont think many people buy jaguars and Eircell are now Vodaphone.
Id almost put money on Ryanair painting an 800 in both Hertz and Vodaphone colours.

Agree with you there shamrock, they still have a strategic partnership with Hertz so I dont think the skies will be void of the bright yellow logo jet for long, be it noisy or quiet.

Hertz is all Ryanair go on about on their flights!

CJC really does look a mess now, dont want it to go anytime soon though ;)

Ah yes the only RYR 732 i've been on!
Inside is in quite good nick, so i don't see why not it should be the last to go.
Don't complain Joe :D

Hopefully they will bring a 738 with winglets with Hertz livery as this one goes out so they arnt without a Hertz logo jet!

I just meant in terms so they keep 1 at all times so there isnt a period without one

Ohhh sorry Andrew I didnt get you the first time. Imagine though if they decide they dont want to retire CJC before a new one is in Hertz colpurs we could have 2 of them!!!!!

Not guilty! The more logo jets the better. I'm just waiting for
a logo similar, if not the same as an Edinburgh Lothian Region bus!

Any artists out there care to oblige.? :D

I always imagined the Jag Jet to be the last Logo jet in service with FR... as it was the one that always (Compared to the rest) looked the cleanest and most airworthy example. I find it hard to belive this thing is still in the air - look at the state of it! Terrible - id be nervous to get on it to be honest.

I have flown on 3 Ryanair 732s, the better ones been CNW/X, which I think if it wasnt for the noise, an uninformed punter could seriously think they were on a newer a/c. EI-CNW was in excellent nick inside particularly.

In my opininon, 'CJC which i got last month, despit its age, was the most comfortable short haul aircraft i've ever been on! To think its been hammered about with the RYR turnarounds lately, its in very good nick!

Dinosaurs to which many an airline owe their existance.

Southwest, Easyjet, Ryanairs survival and many airlines in the third world.

The 737 was no where near as high risk as the 707 and 747
