lol yeah sure is a classic. You know you are flying in a classic when you can't fly from DFW to PDX without having to stop for fuel in SLC. Yes, a classic to be sure. (true story, btw)

TWA final colors
TWA "reverse"
Midway red/gray
As usual, we basically agree.
Haven't we had an Allegiant already?

I'll be grabbing several of the AA models, especially if they are the screwdriver tail.
I'd also like to see an Ozark, Meridiana, Delta, Frontier, Air Cal, Midwest Express.

But I'm more interested in the Braniff II models.
I'll be getting a couple of those. Possibly several. After getting Kiwi and Muse and Frontier, Braniff II would be the perfect addition to a late 1980s diorama.

Now all I'll need are a couple of PEOPLExpress 727s. a Frontier Horizon 727, an Air Atlanta 727, and an Air One 727. Oh, and a Presidential 737. Then we'll be totally 1980s correct. And I'll have finished off my wish list!!

But enough hoping! I;m just glad to see the Braniff II 727! WOW!!! I was beginning to lose hope!

That would be an american MD-80 lol those things are ancient, but still fun to fly on. One of the beat flights I have had was PDX-DFW, the return leg, on the other hand, was one of the worst
