United rolls out retro plane to celebrate anniversary
Nothing says "Happy Birthday" like a specially painted aircraft. To celebrate its 85th anniversary on Wednesday, United rolled out an Airbus A320 painted in its 1970s-era "Friend Ship" paint job. The company unveiled the jet at an employee celebration at Chicago O'Hare International Airport. (travel.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
I’d like to have them offer a flight, in the DC-3 or B-247, on one of the original cross-country routes.
It would have been more appropriate to use a US made airplane! AS suggested by others, a DC-3 or a 247D would have been better choices!
I liked this paint scheme then, and I still think it looks great. Clean and distinctive, even in this world of sophisticated graphics, "wraps" and the like.

The interior is full-executive type no more than 10 seats. A real beauty.

Sorry, I refuse to fly in any airplane that does not have neat graphics on the vertical stabilizer.
Looks good and hats off to the planning dept. But in my opinion would have looked better with a 747, or even better a 757.
If they reverted to the level of customer service offered 85 years ago, more passengers would join in the celebration.
