Between American, Delta, and United, which airline has the best livery?

All three are quite underwhelming. If I had to choose from one of those, American. There's a lot going on with the tail section (more colors and shades than I originally thought). I also like the metallic gray body paint.

I like simple. The classic silver of AA is my all time pick. None of the paint jobs today make me go wow.

If I build an RV-8 I'm going to leave it bare with maybe a red or blue stripe.

I take the opposite stance with the AA livery. The grey isn't metallic at all. In fact, it looks more like primer. They should have adopted the old US Airways livery and swapping the "cancelled postage stamp" flag on the tail with the classic AA eagle.

I'm glad that UA adopted the CO livery. It's looking a bit dated now, though, and in light of recent customer service disasters, UA is probably thinking really hard about rebranding.

My vote goes to DL. Modern touch to a classic logo, though I still think it's a bit odd that they chose to put the widget at an odd angle on the tails.

It was a good idea to adopt that compass pointer from the NWA livery, but I agree, kind of poor execution. Especially when the widget doesn't actually point to NW.

I always liked Delta's classic blue and red "delta" on their tails. But American's modern livalry looks awesome.

I know its not one of the big three, but the new Alaska livery has grown on me.



Of the big 3, American is probably my favorite, but the United/Continental livery has aged well for being over 25 years old.

It IS your grandma! Or mother-in-law...


Our veteran scheme jet is awesome, though.
