Of those choices, I would pick Iberia but you forgot the best one ever----Avianca!
You are now free to be sexually harassed and then terminated for filing a complaint--Southwest Airlines to me.

I really do like the American livery. I first flew on an American 707 from JFK in 1964 (it had just changed from Idlewild) to LAX, and this was the livery. It made a huge impression on a young kid like me. Personally, I think American would make a big improvement by painting their entire fleet in the old colors.
The Lufthansa is very nice too. My son and I went to the Airplane Shop recently, entered their contest, and my son won a beautiful model of a DC-6 in the old Lufthansa colors. He was thrilled.

I like the AF retro scheme. Also the LH retro scheme.

AA's 757 and 737-800 retrojets are neat, but I agree, the USAirways Heritage planes are terrific....especially the PSA A319.
Delta's 75th Anniversary livery that was painted to the "Spirit of Delta" 767 a few years back was my favorite of all.

Of the choices, AA. Always did like lightning stripes. Overall, US's Allegheny.
I'm with Superfly on this one. Both airlines (especially LH) made great choices in regards to aicraft used for the retro schemes. Most airlines seem to be using the A319 which I think is too short. The Tarom 737 is a close third BTW.
Quoting Superfly (Reply 12): I would love to see those colors on their A340s.
Once again, I'll agree. That would be a classic combination!

What is with the obsession with using A32x family aircraft? (Except of course those who don't have A320s like AA)
Imagine the AF retro scheme on an A340 or the AA retro jet on a 777!
All we really need is BA to paint up a few 774s in the old Landor, Red tail, BOAC and maybe even BEA liveries! Of course, the BEA livery would have to include the red wings!

Imagine what a sight that would be if a bunch of these gorgeous birds got together for a nice photoshoot together. I'm thinking Berlin Tempelhof would have be an appropriate backdrop ....

Am I the only one to think that the Tarom livery looks great? Although my fav has to be SAS!
I hope that Air France keep their retro bird cleaner than they do most of their aircraft!!

The Spirit of Delta N102DA. The US retros are very good. I also like the AA. Too many choices its hard to decide.
