American Airlines has had a long history, and the carrier decided one way to celebrate its long history was by painting aircraft in commemorative retro liveries. These liveries celebrate some past American Airlines liveries as well as airlines that American has acquired or merged with to create the modern-day giant that the world knows today.
737-800 #N905NN was painted in an "AstroJet" American Airlines Heritage livery. This livery harks back to the early days of American Airlines, back when the carrier was against painting its aircraft exteriors and instead let the aircraft's natural silver hue shine through. This livery is a little different from the old American Airlines livery pre-US Airways merger. While it also sported a polished metal finish, that livery had a little different design that was a smidge more modern than the AstroJet livery, which brings back memories of the start of the jet age.
Designed as a smaller, short-ranged alternative to the Boeing 707 and 727, the 737 was first flown on April 9th, 1967. Over its long operational carreer, the 737 has spawned numerous variants ranging in capacity from less than 100 to more than 200 seats. In fact, the 737 series is the best-selling jetliner in aviation history with more than 6,500 aircraft manufactured to date and more than 4,500 still in service with over 500 airlines around the world. Incredibly, there is a 737 taking off or landing somewhere in the world, on average, every five seconds. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
