SG 50 

9V-SKI

9V-SKJ
2015-17

Celebrating the 50 Years of the country's independance. Singapore gained independence from the UK in 1963 by federating with other former British territories to form Malaysia, but separated two years later over ideological differences, becoming a sovereign nation in 1965. Note the small 'SG50' decals on the engines were removed quickly after the end of the celebrations in late 2015.

Tropical 

Now more than ever, a great way to fly
9V-SPK
1998-00
9V-SPL
1998-00

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.

On April 4th, 1979, Singapore Airlines launched its first services to the U.S. with a three weekly Singapore-Hong Kong-Honolulu-San Francisco service onboard DC-10s. There is uncertainty about the number of DC-10 and 727 that wore the decal (possibly all of them).
