A couple of years ago, I watched a documentary series of about four episodes on cable TV, following a flight from Canada to Germany - and all that entails. I thought it was entitled...

Flying on a 747

Sad as it is to admit, I have never flown on a 747. It's a life ambition - so, before they're all retired off, I need to do it. I know which airlines have 747s - Question is; How do I...

Best Airplane

For me, it's the 747-400. Poetry in motion. The DC3 Dakota is a classic beauty . . . and the sound of those P&Ws is unmistakeable. Of course, it's all subjective, but interesting to note that apart...

American Airlines - Livery and Paint

I have to agree that AA's livery has stood the test of time. Over the years, some other airlines have used raw metal - Eastern Airlines was one, Air Canada had a go with 767s, Aeromexico, and more...

A 767 would be nice. At least you had the room to take a walk (two aisles 'n stuff). Poxy A320 doesn't do it for me. Is it just me, or do Airbus birds have more "plastic" than their US...

American's A300-600

Agreed that AA 'busses' were, as you state, originally delivered with grey paint. However, American soon had them scrubbed down to bear metal. Maybe its paranoia on AA's part.
