Braniff International Boeing 727 Livery History (1966-82, 1984-92)

[pnagrows]

According to “Braniff pages”

The end of Braniff II was signaled by the return of the 1978 "Ultra Scheme." Braniff II only painted two aircraft in the distinctive pinstripe look before filing for bankruptcy in 1989.

This was one of them. A Boeing 737-239 acquired from American Airlines who got them in the Air California merger. (Thus the AC reg). A Boeing 727-227 was painted in "Perseus Green" but never flown in revenue service. It remained in Smyrna, TN.

This was taken in ORD in Oct 1989 (probably on a charter, since September was the last month of scheduled service)

Plenty of photos of a blue 737 (N464AC) in Blue ultra with the same block titles.

I wish they’d be more open to giving licenses and allow manufacturers to make models of Braniff. Fortunately we did get a Braniff Electra recently from GJ as they had the license, but I’m not too sure if we’ll get another either.

whats with all this licensing stuff? what issues are there that dont allow companies to make models of these specific liveries?
