Awesome! Before I enlarged the thumbnail pic, I thought it was real. Say what you will about American's bare-metal look (and some do), it looks great when the sun (or bright light, anyway) hits it. That's a great display you have there,Trevor. BTW, I'm originally from Chula Vista, so howdy.

Same here. I wasn't convinced even after reading your comment gospodin. I had to enlarge the thumbnail just to check.

Excellent work. Thanks for posting Trevor.

Now we're talking. Beautiful job.

As MS@SFO said on another thread, the American Airlines livery is strong, clean and bold. I have the same thoughts when a TV news story shows an American aircraft taxiing. Just powerful looking.
