Got a guy from another site looking for info on this MD80 he saw @ JFK around x-mas time 1999. He says it was painte in a L.A. Rams theme with "2000" on the tail to commemorate the new millenium. He's wanting the tail No. and who it's registered to now. (Probably AA)
TIA

A modified MD80 (with the additional third engine!)... Boeing 727-231, N64347 (cn 21634/1466, del.04/79). Last seen (near as I can tell) in the paint of Allegro. FAA database is showing the aircraft as "derigistered," and gives the reason as "exported" (Mexico).
Of course, in that this aircraft is not an MD80 and there is no "2000" on the tail, it might not be the one you're thinking of... They also had a Boeing 757-2Q8 (N709TW) with Rams artwork, but the art was much smaller. Also, don't think it had a "2000" on the tail.
