I just hope SAS and US will also get the 70th anniversary...
What I would like to see would be Retrojets of BA, KLM, and some of the big US airlines. Unfortunately, Pan Am and TWA are gone, these would be my favourite Retro Jet airlines...

For me it would be CO and it would be the "Proud bird with the golden tail" scheme, and I'd like to see it on the 777.
As a young aviation nut in the early 60's I used to watch a Continental commercial where they showed an artist painting "Continental Airlines" on the side of a 707 model. I remember it to this day.

Wouldn't a TWA twin globes scheme on a 717 or 757 have looked cool?

N679AN got painted the regular colors sometime before Oct 19, 2003. Probably some kind of cost cutting move. It lasted 4.75 years in the special livery. N951AA is about 4.75 years old. Hopefully they don't repaint that one in regular colors (though to be honest I liked the lightning bolt livery over the astrojet)

Can we agree that the 757 really does have the best lines it seems for these retrojet paint schemes?

I want to see UA paint a 757 and an A320 in the orange/red/blue on white. That was a damn good paint scheme.
I also want to see the Buffalo Sabres take up their old blue/yellow uniforms.
