    Has any other team, ever flown on their own plane. If this happens then i think we have our background picture for the next year. We better not fall flat on our face this season after this stunt.

    They really need to learn how to manage expectations. I don't know about other fans but for me, there are only two things I'm interested in. New players and a new stadium. Anything else is NOT big news. This tour is a PR exercise anyway.

    Mate, it's all revenue. Park or plane = advertising in Asian market = more revnue = players and stadium. All the cogs are related, aren't they?

    I think some of us need to manage our own expectations and how we interpret these tweets. We also need to remember where we were 2-3 years ago.

    If you look really closely at the ladders, you can see they've been modified with teeny weeny steps (12 I think) between each normal step.

    Clearly for SWP's use.

    Or maybe they stop being so cryptic and either tell us what it is or say nothing at all. They're obviously trying to heighten our expectations with a 'big' announcement. Sorry but a branded plane falls a bit short of the mark for me.

    @IJTaylor81: The airbus is painted in blue and white colours with a prominent tail that features QPR&#8217;s iconic hoops. #QPR #AsiaTour http://t.co/GsC1yXhn

    A plane for the great Alan McDonald

    A nice tribute

    Although not an overwhelming announcement, as many have already commented we have to remember how far we have come. We've got to appreciate that the club is now being run properly and most importantly for the best interest of QPR and not to create a boutique.

    I commend the club for using this not only as a PR exercise but also naming it after our great servant Alan McDonald.
