Would've been better if they went with a chrome finish, oh well. AA's definitely killing it with these heritage liveries!

The nose is ruining the whole livery, unless there's something else that makes me not like it. It just doesn't fit on the 777.

Lovely scheme this is
Looks great on any airframe!
Wonder what happened to their widebody ambitions though.
Wondering why they didn't go for the A320 family - Boeing is of course offering deep discounts and additionally the availability of early delivery slots would be attractive.
African carriers seem to be favouring the MAX though - does it have better proven hot and high performance?
Well, all engines suffer and have a reduced thrust with high temperatures, and MAX is not different from this point of view. For what i know Boeing, much more than Airbus, started a policy of safety, trust, growth, fuel efficency and fuel saving for its MAX8 and this despite the tragic accident of Ethiopian Airlines. And, despite the Ethiopian Airlines crash, some African leading airlines decided to give trust to Boeing. But i would not say that Africa opted for Boeing and MAX, in fact just Ethiopian and RAM are using the MAX8 while Kenya Airways, Air Algerie, Rwandair, FlySafair and Egyptair are using the B737NG and many other like Egyptair, Air Cairo, Air Seychelles, SAA, Tunisair etc are using the A320neo or A320ceo, while Angola Airlines opted for the A220-300 and other for the Embraer (Airlink if i am not wrong).
I am writing using the brain and the memory that, with the age and the chemoterapy are no more so good (
) so maybe i am wrong.
