I seem to recall from the "good old days" at Miami, DC6s tend to approach at this attitude.
As for the reason why British Eagle, I believe it's their 50th anniversary this year - might be wrong, but hey, what an iconic scheme - just a shame there isn't an airworthy Britannia that could have been done up in Eagle colours as well.
Ahh, wishful thinking!! (I know 'CF is destined for Eagle scheme at LPL, but can't imagine her ever flying!).
