Sure looks better than their silly modern flag tail design which says so little. The classic "AA" just said it all. Nice photo!

That sure is a very busy look. Nice take off photo.

I miss seeing 727s at an airport or coming into DCA at Haines Point - especially if they had a National Sun King or TWA Globe. Thanks!

Where is this 727 parked? Can you tour it? Thanks!

I flew an Olympic 747 in 1996 from JFK to Athens, transferring to Egypt Air to arrive in Cairo. I was bumped up to Business in the front of the plane; first was upstairs. I remember when you pulled down the shade there were images of Greek statues facing you. First flew the 747 on Pan Am in 1971 from IAD to Heathrow; very exciting to a ten year old boy. Miss it so much and hope to fly on a final Lufthansa 747 before they disappear. Nothing beat the 747!

Can't get used to the new AA livery, nothing identified the line better than the AA on the tail with the silver body. I really like seeing the pre '70s lightening bolt. There were four great liveries from growing up in the 60s that made me a plane watcher: Pan Am, TWA, AA, and the National Sun King - my personal favorite. Thanks for sharing this great photo of American!
