B-3072 CRJ-200ER China Yunnan 2002-04

China Yunnan's 6 CRJs were known as the "Little Peacock" (小孔雀) CRJs, with a small peacock mascot visible just under the cockpit windows. All 6 were delivered in unique liveries featuring Yunnan flowers, plants and landscapes. In a rather unusual way, the special part of the scheme was kept while the aircraft gained the MU livery after China Yunnan was integrated into China Eastern.

Sadly, this aircraft crashed immediately after take off on November 21, 2004 at Baotan airport.

B-3013 CRJ-200ER China Yunnan » China Eastern Yunnan 2001-13

China Yunnan's 6 CRJs were known as the "Little Peacock" (小孔雀) CRJs, with a small peacock mascot visible just under the cockpit windows. All 6 were delivered in unique liveries featuring Yunnan flowers, plants and landscapes. In a rather unusual way, the special part of the scheme was kept while the aircraft gained the MU livery after China Yunnan was integrated into China Eastern.

This first scheme was possibly linked to the scenic spot near Dali called "Butterfly Spring" where thousands of butterflies gather. The location is of particular significance to the Bai people, an ethnic group living in the region.
