I for one am going to miss our one unique plane. Some hated it, others loved it. Either way, it always was a conversation starter. I am proud to say I have had the pleasure of working on PM to LGW. Maybe we can convince CO to have another special livery by the time the 20th and final 777 goes in for its conversion!!! Any ideas? Maybe a retro scheme, or maybe one with the FlyerTalk logo on the tail instead of the globe.

The passing of the Peter Max 777 marks the end of a visible symbol of the Gordon Bethune era and its aspirations of being an airline with a soul.
Like it or not, the Peter Max plane was exceptional and made a strong statement.
What similar initiative will mark the regime of Larry Kellner? The elimination of the 500-mile bonus for booking on co.com?

Peter was great. Flew him trans atlantic. A nice contrast with CO's typical boring paint job.
Heck, I liked Braniff!
