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.

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.
