What is the name of the American airline that had lots of different
colour schemes at the same time? Northwest (I don't think so)?

Braniff is the big one I can think of...

Alaska used to have a variety of schemes as well, many years back.

What is the name of the American airline that had lots of different
colour schemes at the same time? Northwest (I don't think so)?


Braniff!

This color scheme reminds me of their pumpkin orange 747.

Big Orange!

I've read a rumor that Braniff had purchased a second 747 and that it
even got painted before the order was cancelled. It was supposedly to
be the Great Pickle, overall green.

The 747-8 scheme is a bit more sophisticated. Perhaps more akin to
Qantas' 'Aboriginal art' 747.

Thanks for that picture of Big Orange! I knew someone on here would have
one.

As for the the Great Pickle......I heard something to that effect. I'm not
100% certain....but a recently published magazine special on Braniff may
even have a photo. I'm going to have a look and if I find it, scan and post
it here.

Yes, this one is much prettier and more modern than the basic orange but it
is a bit of a reminder of Braniff's Big Orange.

Another Braniff 747, begged/bought/borrowed from American. Not quite
as impressive as the first one...

Can't find the slide now, but they also had an orange 747SP.
