Well, it’s not usual to see 2 posts in a day. But...it happened.
Summary of Allegiant Air:
Allegiant Air (usually shortened to Allegiant) is a major American airline headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. The airline focuses on serving leisure traffic from small and medium-sized cities which it considers to be underserved, using an ultra low-cost business model with minimal inclusions in fares and a greater number of add-on fees. Allegiant was founded in 1997 and is wholly owned by Allegiant Travel Company, a publicly traded company with 5,600 employees and over US$2.6 billion market capitalization in 2016. The airline is the fourteenth-largest in North America.
Aircraft in real life:
Allegiant Air used to have 6 Boeing 757-200’s. One of the being N901NV. The plane had been in service with Allegiant before being retired in August 31st of 2016. N901NV and all other of Allegiant's B757-200s entered commercial service in 2011 from Las Vegas to McAllen and Rockford. But the real reason for the sub-fleet was for Hawaii service. Hawaii started in the summer of 2012 when Las Vegas to Honolulu and Fresno to Honolulu took off. For Allegiant, Hawaii was a big, different, complicated, costly, and ultimately short-lived experiment. Likewise, its B757s, which all ceased being used in October 2017.
The 26.8 year old 757-200 [N901NV] was used by:
- Britannia Airways in May 1992 as G-BYAD
- ThomsonFly in Nov 2005 as G-BYAD
- Thomson Airways in May 2009 as G-BYAD
- AerCap in Dec 2009 as N963BV
- Allegiant Air in Apr 2010 as N901NV
- Air Finland (Leased from Allegiant Air) in Mar 2011 as OH-AFL
- Allegiant Air (Returned from lease) in Apr 2012 as N901NV
It was stored at Stuttgart in 31st Aug 2016 and was broken up in Feb 2019.
The aircraft in question:
N901NV taking off from Las Vegas Harry Reid International (LAS/KLAS)
N901NV landing at Las Vegas
N901NV (Left aircraft) and N905NV (right aircraft) paired up in Las Vegas

This is the only Allegiant Air Livery on SimplePlanes (if there’s any I missed.)
This is my first post with a good detailed description.

@RedTrinity also I Did kinda take the text from someone else and modified the sunburst, but the Eyes on the engines were all me!
@RedTrinity Heck, i live in a city with 2 named international airports, both of aeronautical people, and my first flight was out of one of those airports on an Allegiant flight to Florida, so I really wanted to do that, and also the insomniac livery had not been done on the site yet.
@NTH First, I didn’t know another person wanted to make an Allegiant plane. second, I’m pretty sure you took Allegiant text and sun pattern on the tail…The method on how I managed to process the image to become a string of text is correct.
I dunno why you had to make your points in 2 different comments though.
Also, I think we even used like the same image and program for the sunburst on the Vertical Stabilizer😂, if I’m right, it was processed using a GitHub project that converted it picture-code-to picture on text, suggested by none other than WritersCrusadersAirCo2!
@RedTrinity Well, you shoulda known SOMEONE would try to make another Allegiant air livery, especially that of N198NV, the insomniac plane. And my first EVER flight was on THAT PLANE! So really, I’m suprised I got the livery pretty much spot on(based on a model), and in suprised someone else did the 757. All that’s left is the Md80 and that sort.
