WOW that 747 looks really nice! Thanks Chris for the pics. I cannot wait to see her in the air. :borat:

[flyboy 28]

Holy hell. That is nice.

[moose135]

Very nice - you think you can arrange to get it into JFK once in a while?

[MarkLawrence]

Ohhh...that looks sweet!!!

[PHL Approach]

Sure, looks good. But I don't care what anyone says. The A332s will be the best looking a/c in that livery.

[Delta777LR]

I love it baby!! thanks for the updates Chris.. She got painted pretty fast. Im very excited to see the first 744 in DL colors. My jaw dropped when I saw this!!

[mmedford]

holy **** box!

the first words out of my mouth...

I'm definately impressed now...

[PhilDernerJr]

Thanks for sharing, Chris. Great shot!

What do you think after you see the full plane?

This livery look bad in general but on the 400? There no words that can describe this horror. It is obcene and should be banished from the earth.

Sure he can Moose! Just run in on a sim :)

Nice shot, Chris. Not overly impressed though. It screams British Airways, IMHO.

[NIKV69]

I will say that the new DL scheme looks better on the 747 than the others by far.

I also think she looks great. What is her tail #? I was unaware that Delta flies any B744's. I wonder what her route will be? Fortunately, fuel prices have dropped so hopefully other airlines will resume flying their 744's.

This was not in storage...Delta acquired this and other 744s through their merger with Northwest.

Here she is fully painted:

*sigh*

Did you even read this thread? This page? Delta acquired these with the Northwest merger. NW's 747s became Delta's.

[ChrisW]

I'm convinced! Some people DO live under rocks. :mrgreen:
