Now you just need the new c/s 747 from "gulp" Dragon Wings since Gemini hasn't released a 747 in ages......

I don't think the new color scheme of 2004 will be flying on that type of 747 as shown. The 747-100. I think those have been taken out of service.

So does anyone have any thoughts about the DW 747-100 and GJ 747-100 friendships? I realize the coloring on the DW is a little off, but honestly, when it comes down to a classic 747, I've gotta have the wing attenae, which is why I actually purchased the DW 747-100 after already owning the GJ version, and in fact I now display the DW version instead. That, plus a tail seam, and... well, DW wins the day on this one for me.

Any strong thoughts/people willing to slam me down?

No slams my friend, but what if Big Bird was to release that same United (Friendship) 747-100, then which one would you display?
