As the Rhodesian Bush War was in its final phases, the name of the country was changed to Zimbabwe Rhodesia in June 1979. Air Rhodesia changed its name to Air Zimbabwe Rhodesia still in Air Rhodesia's low visibility, anti-missile colour scheme with a dull green cheat line. This was changed back to blue, white and polished metal when the airline was renamed to Air Zimbabwe the following year.
