Why should this livery be added?
This isn’t a particularly striking livery, nor did it last very long only being applied to 2 aircraft in September 2017 prior to their retirement on 8th November 2017. However, this livery was a final farewell to a relationship United had endure with the B744 since the first aircraft arrived in their ranks in 1989, and more so their relationship with the 747 as a whole with the first arriving in 1970. This was United saying a long goodbye to an aircraft type which had served them well for nearly 50 years, and also the USA saying goodbye as Delta retired their last in December bringing an era to a close.
