Classic British Flight Sim

Hi AD

Yes any airline can do them......it's just them using an earlier livery or sometimes a livery form an earlier name or airline that was a part of their history.

Like US Airways painting Piedemont ot BA painting BOAC.

Sometimes it is done not my an airline but by a film company and it is not real as such like the Air Atlantique DC 6 painted up as an Air France DC 4 and a Caravelle that was painted in Air Canada livery.

Don't think there is any modern planes flying here that are in old colours.

Hi AD

A retro jet is a current one painted in an earlier livery those are just old pics of liveries that were cirrent at the time.

I've changed those to links for copyright reasons

I've edited the post. Sorry if I got it wrong.

Hi Ad

I already changed the post so it was right.....trouble is my answer now refers to something no longer there

I think the KLM scheme on the B738 is successful because the 737 has a direct lineage back to the early 60's and thus most "retro" schemes would probably look well on it. (The 720 was only 7 feet longer) The Airbusses are that much less convincing, but I do quite like the SAS one. The Air France one is awful, I'm afraid.

Here are some others:

Again, the 737-800 "Astrojet" looks the part.
