The old Delta widget colors.

I like the design but the color choice is a little... odd. Grey, green, and orange? Eh. I like the old Piedmont colors as well. Looked awesome on a 727.

I always did like the last TWA colors. Not really sure why, but they always looked classy to me.

USAir, early '90s to 97, simple but very sharp:

I changed my mind:

:yeahthat:

It does seem kind of odd tho that SWA would put that on one of their planes, but kick a woman off who supposedly dressed to skimpily.

Eastern in the late 30's-early 50's? Not sure when they changed their livery from this one.

My grandad flew for Pitcairn airmail and was hired by Eastern with a seniority # of 21 in Dec of '30 - and my uncle was hired in '31 with #32. They flew this one that's hanging in the Smithsonian, always thought that was pretty cool.

The plane and the livery was always a fan favorite of mine.....Delta has d^cked up the paint scheme ever since the good ole days!

This is the very definition of class, IMHO. Harks back to the "glory dyas"

See, for me, if your going to go down the Lockheed Constellation route, there is only one plane to consider. The L1049G, aka Super Connie, is the best of the bunch. Something about the tip tanks just makes it look amazing.

I always liked the Piedmont livery. It was the little airline that could. Here is one of the early Piedmont 767's at Amsterdam.

I'll miss the NWA livery. This was on my desktop for awhile.

That's awesome! I wouldn't mind having that and the DC-3. Just gotta pick the right #'s on the Lottery.
