Why should this livery be added?
Delta Air Lines was the launch customer for the aircraft whilst operating a fleet of 17 Convair 880s between 1960 and 1974, making up over a quarter of the global Convair 880s production run, with the airline marking the new aircraft with a new unique livery when entering service. With the DC-8 thunderbird retiring from service and a more widget like tail logo adopted as well as the new ‘Aristocrat of Jets’ 880 crown logo.Also while looking for information about Delta Convair 880s, stumbled onto a promo film for the Delta CV880s in the 1960s, which features the abovementioned livery.
