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. Bob ^,,^ 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. Nick

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. Nick

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