Summary Cessna 510 Mustang painted in Captain America livery with two registrations: N264CA and N26WF. Jackie Chan's Embraer Legacy 650 features a dragon-inspired red and yellow livery. Drake's Air Drake Boeing 767-200ER showcases a baby blue paint scheme with a distinctive OVO Owl logo.
Whether it's part of a collaboration with companies like the Pokémon Company, the Star Wars Corporation, or even with famous football teams like Manchester City and Real Madrid, commercial passenger aircraft are often seen in iconic and vibrant liveries that differ from their typical branding. But in private aviation , it's relatively uncommon to see private jets parading colorful liveries , as most owners tend to be more conservative. Fortunately, some owners crave identity and creativity, so here are five of our favorite liveries on private jets worldwide.
1 Captain America Cessna 510 Citation Mustang The aircraft held two different registrations N264CA N26WF Previously registered as N264CA, this Cessna 510 Citation Mustang was painted in 'The American Patriot' special livery based on Marvel's Captain America for the Veterans Airlift Command. But you look closely; you can see that Captain America was slightly tweaked to resemble a World War II pilot. Unfortunately, the aircraft has since been re-registered N26WF upon switching owners.
Based on available photos online, the 'The American Patriot' paint scheme was also removed, but it still deserves a spot on this list for the period it existed.

The jet was produced between 2006 and 2017 with over 470 airframes built. 2 Jackie Chan Embraer Legacy 650 Although the Hong Kong actor has quite an impressive fleet of private jets, perhaps the most well-known is Jackie Chan's first Embraer aircraft, delivered in 2012 to kickstart his journey as the company's brand ambassador.
The Embraer Legacy 650, registered N688JC, is instantly recognizable for its snaking dragons. The dragons are in the popular Chinese colors of red and yellow, and Chan's logo was also painted on the tail. This aircraft was often seen in Beijing and Hong Kong, but as of late, it seems to have had its registered owners switched, as photos as recently as 2019 show the aircraft in a different, plainer livery.
Nearly 300 Legacy jets have been produced by Embraer. 3 Air Drake Boeing 767-200ER While the rapper himself does not actually own it, Drake has a Boeing 767-200ER in his vehicle collection, which was acquired in early 2019. The massive airframe technically belongs to Cargojet and was gifted to the Canadian rapper as part of an organic collaboration.
Dubbed Air Drake and registered N767CJ, this private jet is painted in the rapper's signature baby blue scheme. The OVO Owl - the logo of Drake's clothing line - is painted near the front door, and the tail features two prayer hands clasped together, a symbol often associated with the rapper within his music and tattoos. While Cargojet is emblazoned on the aircraft's rear bottom, Air Drake is featured more clearly on the two engines.

Compared to the others on this list, this aircraft lacks the more prominent symbols or unique designs for its livery but heavily makes up for it in color.
The aircraft was painted in a vibrant metallic cherry-red color scheme. According to Amalfi Jets , "The exterior of Hamilton's jet was a striking, eye-catching red, with his racing number 44 emblazoned on the tail. Inside, the jet featured a luxurious interior with leather seats, a full-service galley, and state-of-the-art entertainment systems.
The cabin was designed to offer maximum comfort and convenience, allowing Hamilton to relax, work, or even sleep during long-haul flights. This level of luxury ensured that he could arrive at races and events around the world in peak condition, ready to compete at the highest level." Whether seen during the day or night, the cherry-red is simply eye-catching and unique.
The aircraft also bore a customized G-LCDH registration tag on the tailfin to signify the racecar driver's full name, Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton. Unfortunately, this beautifully painted aircraft left his collection less than a decade later. Lewis Hamilton sold his Bombardier Challenger 605 in 2019.
5 Max Verstappen Dassault Falcon 900EX Rounding off this list is a Dassault Falcon 900EX owned by another Formula 1 driver, Max Verstappen. In 2020, Max acquired this private jet from Richard Branson, had it re-registered PH-DTF, and dubbed it The Flying Dutchman. We'd love to see you on Instagram - follow us here ! And in tribute to his racing career, Verstappen re-painted the aircraft with a special livery design of matte dark grey with orange graphics and the Verstappen logo featured on the tail.
