Retrofied the picture a bit

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
 

Wow, that's a lovely model. It would go nicely with my GJ 727.

I dig that retro shot! This is a lovely model although I never got to see the real flying machines myself. Did they ever fly to U.K.?

Happy holidays! This ship was not on my wish list but now I see her I regret that. What a classic beauty!! Vrolijk kerstfeest!

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
 

Yes, in the 1970s with the 747 and then the DC-10 National flew to London. They subsequently added Paris, Amsterdam, Zurich and Frankfurt to their list of European destinations. They were, however, a predominantly U.S. domestic airline.

I keep telling myself, don't click on that thread. There might be nice pictures and require me to order another model. Oh well...... time to go shopping. I love these retros. Must pick up now.

The "Sun King" livery was very nice. We desperately need more like it today.

I am the opposit, I was keen to get this but thought it didn't look as good as I thought it would when I saw it in the store. So i'll probably get it the next time I see it LOL thanks for sharing!

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
 

Thank you for the pictures shared, a great model for sure.

Vrolijk Kerstfeest !!!

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
 

I used to love to watch the National 747s arc up and away over Jamaica Bay and
the Rockaways out of JFK in the early 1970's, when everybody flew 747s both foreign, and domestic, a classic livery,on a classic ship : ) Buon Natale !!!

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
 

Just got mine yesterday. N77772 was my first 747 flight. Love it!

Re: A "National" holiday greet N77772
