AA must have forgotten that TWA aircraft  color was white not gray....or maybe I'm seeing gray...

The white looks white to me.  There are shadows on the belly making it appear gray.

Apparently it *is* the "normal" grAAy.

If so, I can't believe they screwed up something this simple. Legacy US put a lot of attention to detail into their heritage aircraft, and the first two for AA look half-assed.

Looks white to me with a bit of shadowing? Maybe not...

Like the QQ plane, I think this would've best been done on an MD80, but I still love that they're at least doing them...

I'm surprised they used that paint scheme, instead of the most recent or the vintage one that goes back to AA's lightning bolt:

Most people I've talked with would have preferred the retro twin globes as well. I suspect the 90's scheme was too busy (not that Reno's isn't as well).

TWA heritage was at D term today at DFW.

The Wings of Pride livery would've also been a good choice.

I think I'm the only one left that really liked TW's final paint scheme...

 

[robbedagain]

no Kev  I really liked the final color scheme as well as the wings of pride scheme

Wings of pride is in Kansas City.

The 60s-early 70s twin globes (or "Starstream) colors, recalling TWA's glory days, would have a better choice, IMO, but this one looks great.

Kev, I liked the final, but it was almost TOO final.  It just got here when we suddenly were no more.  I saw the TWA plane in ORD this morning.  That was the scheme during most of my career, so it's OK, I guess.
