Seeing that picture in the post above of the 905 just reminds me how nostalgic I am to the old branding. Was just an 11 year old then building commercial airline models (weirdo! lol) and remember how exciting it was to get to go to a real hobby store (almost all dead now) and pick out the liveries of just about any airline out there - the ones you had to put in water. Just loved that Delta look.

Anyway, nothing to do with this thread, carry on

you would probably enjoy some of the discussion and photos in the Old Timers’ Airline and Airliner Discussion thread

There are also a few groups on Facebook with great photos of the "good ol' days." AIRLINERS FROM THE PAST and DC-9 Fan Club are a couple of them.

feel free to join in ... we’re always glad to have a new voice in the conversation

I stumbled on it about 5 years ago, and it contains probably 2/3 of my post count
