Default Air France experimental livery from the 70's
I found this work by R P Abraham and I just... loved it!


Looks like Air France DID try this livery on a 727...

Well, I like the barcode... but I would had chosen this livery without any doubt. So so classy!

Love it. The only evidence its from the 70s is the stripe. The tail actually looks kinda modern.

I knew about the grey stripe livery, but i never really liked it. Thai tried the same thing and it's the same thing with that one: no good.

Gorgeous. Quite spectacular. So much nicer than the tail dips and Boeing house inspired
"waves" of the present.

Kinda looks like a JAL hybrid. The retro livery looks awsome.
