pianoknight Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 There are so many great airline liveries that are now defunct. I'd love if Delta, United or American brought back some of the old marks like Pan-Am, TWA or Northwest.It'd be like throwback jerseys for Boeings. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

If nothing else, Pan-Am should be brought back, simply due to that brand's legacy in the history of commercial aviation.

BlueSky Posted April 24, 2012 Author Share Posted April 24, 2012 It's pretty cool to see so many airlines flying retrojets and how the old schemes look on modern aircraft.They even went with the gigantic registration characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Love the way that tail looks. Why use a dull gray there when from the picture it looks like a metallic finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
