Left shoe seems to be blending in. The right one stands out. The rest of the garb is amazing.

Great find. Usually they carry the Mica IR. This means the plan to give the upgrades the weaponry cleared on the original 2000s is progressing well.

Humbly requesting: Are there any artists on BR who can do some Photoshop livery designs for "India One" aircraft that is unique to Indian nationhood and tastefully more dramatic then this livery, using B777 stock photos? P.S. why is the call sign "Air India One" for this aircraft? What happens when the Gov't sells off Air India?

Ah to your last question. GOI can continue using the name AI 1 even post. Simple bill in parliament. Or they will retain the name AI
as an IP in a new company while selling thr company so royalties continue to flow to GOI for brand use.

Non-issue IMO

There was someone who had done a beautiful Air India One livery with a large swathe of Mayur Pankh / Peacock's feather on the fuselage, can't remember who & where.

Level of fade depends on when they were painted, the amount of wear etc........

Here are two of the very last legacy Baaz taxiing out, see the difference in their paint: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_2e93Cl1Uz/ (swipe right to left for the next picture)
