Image Description:
Brussels, 16 March 2015 - Today Brussels Airlines & Moulinsart unveiled someting never seen before: An Airbus A320 with a livery inspired by the Belgian cartoon character Tintin. Both Belgian companies have worked several months on this unique project, based on the original drawings by the hand of Hergé. The result is a 37m long black shark, based on Professor Calculu's shark submarine from the Tintin adventure, Red Rackham's treasure. The aircraft was baptized "Rackham". On the fuselage we read:"We fly you to the home of Tintin" For the painting of the aircraft, Brussels Airlines worked with aircraft paint artist Andre Eisele. The entire paint job took 1500 man hours in total, 360 liters of paint, 10 days, 22 painters per day and 5 km of tape.
