Very Strange, perhaps Kuwait airways hired a blind person? :P either that or its just the angle of the picture?

Looks genuine, I don't believe it is the angle of the aircraft.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 24-10-02 AT 08:22 PM (GMT)]Perhaps maybe, the stickyness of the K and U stickers is going then, causing them to slip down a little?

Wouldn't it be hilariously funny if the K and the U peeled off in mid-flight making it Wait Airways - ho ho ho!
Sorry for my stupid thinking.

To b honest i think it could b the start of the curve of the nose section along with the angle - not cert tho

Nah it has gotta be the curve of the aircraft as if you look they are all slanting downwards as the W is starting to slant. They would allow it outta paint shop with shoddy work i am sure they would inspect it and if it was letters peeling off they why would the W started off normal and then start to slant!!
Think people think!!

Just had a look at a couple of other photos on a.net and it definately is not the angle, the painting is slightly off, strange thing to happen though!

Think its just the shape of the front of the plane and it is also descending could have something to do with it

I've just been looking back at some of the pics I took at Heathrow on Saturday and noticed something a little strange when I loaded this one. Aircraft in question is the Kuwait Airways 777 9K-AOB, just take a look at the K and U, they just aren't level with the rest of the writing.

Ever seen anything like that on other aircraft?
