If the aircraft is being preserved and displayed for having been the first 747-400, then it should be displayed as it was when it first entered service ie; in a NWA livery.

I agree xUT. I worked on that aircraft (6301) so many times over the years. She will always hold a special place in my heart.ThirdSeatHero said:If the aircraft is being preserved and displayed for having been the first 747-400, then it should be displayed as it was when it first entered service ie; in a NWA livery.

If they wanted to do that then I am all for painting the 744 in anything they want.Kev3188 said:Agreed.
And for the record, I'm all for a Western plane at the museum (and any others) as well...
Actually, they do. It would be relatively easy and cheap to find the aircraft and have them ferried to ATL. It only takes will. It would be a miniscule blip on the balance sheet compared to the goodwill it would create.topDawg said:If they wanted to do that then I am all for painting the 744 in anything they want.
but they wont, The museum simply doesn't have the funds to go out and buy 5-6+ airplanes, get them airworthy enough to fly them to ATL, Get them painted etc. etc. etc. etc.
really? because the main reasons ship 41 isn't flying anymore is funds. The main reason they haven't gotten the DC7 is funds. It would take millions the museum doesn't have.Glenn Quagmire said:Actually, they do. It would be relatively easy and cheap to find the aircraft and have them ferried to ATL. It only takes will.

But here I go thinking rationally.
Retro's of "their" former paint jobs. NOT paint jobs of the airlines they ruined. AA would never have a Reno Air or TWA paint job if they were not run by america west/ usair700UW said:AA, UA, and US all have retro jets and many foreign flag carriers have them also.
Guess you don't realize it instils pride into the workers.
FWIW you just named three of the biggest s**t shows in labor management relations in the business. I would prefer if Delta did nothing like they do. JMO.700UW said:AA, UA, and US all have retro jets and many foreign flag carriers have them also.

I stand corrected. Thank you.topDawg said:
I hope you guys understand the museum is NOT a Delta Air Lines INC company. They are there own company just like DCCU...
