I wanna go back four decades, when new airplanes looked like this:



Yeah, I know what you are going to say and I've got a whole lot, but who cares, it is pretty and flies nice.

They were probably getting the airplane ready to return to Mexico City.

Aeromexico operates a B767 between Mexico City and Narita.

M 0.92 in the descent no problem. I heard the engines were very slow to start, & smoked so much they caused IFR conditions at the field.

But I would've loved to fly it.

Trying to find that DAL 747 image from Air Line Pilot magazine. That was nice.

Saw quite a few of these old birds, in Delta paint, while performing touch-and-go's in KVCV yesterday. Quite the collection of old Delta airplanes, getting some sun in the high desert of California.
