Oh yes, the B747 "Orange Pumpkin"!
Hi Joe...If you remember, I was a CSA at DFW for the last 4 years the original BN existed. Several travel agencies and 3 other airlines (NW, N7 & SK) later, I'm retired in the SEA area and spend a lot of time plane spotting. A few weeks ago, I found a former FedEx 727-200 at Everett's Paine Field (PAE). I came home & traced the registration nbr. and found it had originally served BN, starting in 1979. Wish I could have hugged the ol' girl!
Yes, BN was quite the trend setter that stayed in the public's eye for a long time. I have lots of great memories of my time with BN and being around the colorful fleet. And certainly of all the wonderful Non-Rev travel all over the world. I'm really happy to have been involved in the Golden Years of the airline industry and to have worked for the most colorful airline of her day. Long live the memories of Flying Colors.

Hi Patrick, I do remember you from way back there. Yes, our last 20 727-200 from Braniff II, went to Fed X, after our shut down in 89.. Fed X had to work on them, to add a cargo door and modified the engines.
You are correct about those being the Golden years up to 1978 when deregulation came about. I hope deregulation helped the aviation industry, but I am not too sure it did.. It was fun to work for a carrier those days. Take care.

Air Tranica would have my vote if the nomex was traded for a bikini. Lol
These are nice specialty paint jobs.
I like some variety. However, American Airline livery that they are retiring is my favorite paint theme. I wish that American wouldn't change to their new livery. The old colors were my favorite.

I believe we were a trend setter for paint jobs to come after us. That airline was Braniff International..
