Many may not remember, but EasyJet's aircraft used to sport a vibrant orange and white livery. These pictures, taken at Gatwick Airport between 2016 and 2018, capture that era. The airline has since transitioned to a new design, but the classic orange scheme holds a special place in my photo collection.

EasyJet's Classic Livery: A Look Back at Gatwick's "Orange Airport"
Gatwick Airport even earned the nickname "the orange airport" due to EasyJet's dominance. It's a reminder of how quickly things change in aviation. Here, we see several aircraft in the old livery, some of which have likely been stored, scrapped or repainted by now.
This post serves as a reminder to capture those fleeting moments. While the weather may not be ideal today, putting off photography can lead to missed opportunities.
Looking back on my 50+ years of photography, I started with a simple Kodak Brownie. It wasn't fancy, but it sparked a lifelong passion. Now, in my 60s, I'm revisiting this love and sometimes wonder about I should have taken an alternative paths, like pursuing photography as a career. But hindsight is always 20/20, right?
I hope you enjoyed this glimpse into EasyJet's past at Gatwick.

British Airways Boeing 777 at London Gatwick & Aviation Photos
Today I spent a hour at London Gatwick. Time was not on my side today but had to pop up and see the NEW livery Emirates A380 arrive. I have posted some photos below for you to see. The video is very short so these photos will be better to look at. I do enjoy taking a photograph and have done so for over 50 years.
