Soaring Spirit repainted :(
Just as an FYI sort of thing, it appears that DL's 772ER flagship, "Soaring Spirit II", has been repainted as of 1/3/03.
Never did get a chance to see it

Figured it was going to eventually happen before long, now that it's been nearly a year since the SLC 2002 Winter Olympics.
The Olympic organizing committee effectively puts itself 'out of business' at the point where the IOC chairman announces the games closed. At that point, the marketing campaign for the next Olympics begins to go into full swing.
You can still get a 1/400 scale diecast model of the 'Soaring Spirit II', though.

I guess us Atlantan's are spoiled. Seems like any day you can go to the airport, walk through E concourse and say "Hey look Soaring Spirit II, Centennial Spirit, and Spirit of Delta". And as you exit the E concourse, gawking at the AF and LH A340's, the BA 777, and the (summertime) SAA 747, you head to the C concourse (passing the Soaring Spirit 757 parked at D) to visit the ASA Texas and Olympic planes....
Spoiled indeed.
