747s are awesome.

I wonder what people would think if they gave it a FLAME JOB!

Needs a big blue circle around the ‘D’ .

Looks like a very ordinary, unimaginative, and tame color and pattern design to me...like a great big vanilla Popsicle.

Not that I care...My only goal is to get from one point to another.

I detest 747s. Uncomfortable, wherever you are in coach.

But regardless, I detest United even worse. They recently deleted 30k traveled airmiles from my frequent-flyer account for no reason -- my last trip was well within their "refreshing" timeframe.

But it doesn't matter. My first-ever airplane trip was on United, in 1968, and the experience was SO bad I didn't set foot aboard for over 3 decades and then only because of company booking policy. They had one chance early 2000s to remedy that (a trip to Asia) and didn't quite accomp0lish that.

Continental was a decent airline, when they were part of Skyteam. Won't fly them now, if I can avoid it.

And so far, I have.

And "Fly United?" You just gotta be kidding. Delta and its partners are variable (KLM Cityhopper is unreliable, Air France ranges from *super* to rude, depending upon route), but ever since Delta decided it was no longer going to fly the oldest planes in the business it's been pretty good.

I'm a Delta Platinum; this year I should easily make Diamond. Especially since the airmile thieves at Untied Airlines just gave me one more reason to avoid flying them ever again.

And it doesn't matter one bit what logo they paint on their tails.

The paint scheme is okay, not great. Not bad. I kinda like this one:

My late Uncle flew as a co-pilot on DC-8s from California to Hawaii in the 60's and 70's. It is my regret that due to distance, I never got to know him near as much as I should have.
