On September 4, 1998, Singapore Airlines unveiled 9V-SPL in this striking scheme. The special paint was designed to celebrate the launch of the upgrade of all of the airline's onboard products in late 1998. The stylized 'FC' at the front, palm tree and stylized 'E' aft of the wing respectively referred to the First Class, Raffles Class (Business) and Economy Class. The scheme itself was said to have been inspired by a tropical sunrise, from where it took its name. The Singapore motto 'A great way to fly' was modified for the occasion. Sadly 9V-SPK crashed during take off in Taipei in October 2000, after what SIA quickly repainted sistership SPL in standard livery.
