Well, these images really make the merger feel real.  We have painted ship 6305 (N665US) in the Delta Air Lines Livery.  It’s pretty awesome and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Someone from Narita, Japan (Tokyo) just sent across these pictures.  Very cool to see this bird in action.

    See http://edwards-familyweb.net/blog/new-paint for a livery we’d all secretly hoped they’d use. :)

    Here’s another link you will find interesting. This is around the last time a 747 flew in DL colors.

    According to Airliners.net, DL operated 5 747′s between 1970 and 1977.
