View Full Version : Interesting Airline Paint Schemes
Saw this one and thought this would make an interesting - and a bit more light-hearted - conversation.
Kulula Air - South Africa
Anybody recall the wild art motifs of the Braniff planes back in the 60s-70s?
Richard's $.02 :munchin
Southwest Airways also uses some interesting paint schemes.

The all yellow DHL aircraft look like flying bananas. I used to like the Eskimo face that was on the Alaskan Airlines planes.

Planes, hell! It was the Braniff stewardesses that I remember! (And, they were called stewardesses back then. Talk about good looking... and friendly.. and short skirts... and boots... :D)

Sometimes it is good to be a FOG! Back in "those days" flying was more fun - and not just because of fine stewardesses. You weren't so "shoe-horned" into the planes, either. Food was served, and sometimes it was pretty good. People actually knew how to behave on an airplane!
PSA! The "smiling" airplanes. How sad the picture of the one crashing in San Diego was...
Re: the Kulula Air pic at the top...isn't the #1 Engine supposed to be on the port side of the plane?
Just wandering... :D
