And don't forget the predecessors of Hughes Airwest (Pacific, Bonanza, and West Coast).
Both Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads have done this, painting locomotives in the liveries of various predecessor lines (Pennsy, New York Central, Wabash, Southern Pacific, Missouri Pacific, etc.). And American put the 50s AA and TW liveries on a plane each a while back.
I think it would be fun to see Herman the Goose, a Yellowbird, and other classic liveries for a while. Maybe a vote of passengers to pick among the choices that each airline would present.
