Love the 70s livery. It brings back memories of my very first Commercial flight out of KGEG. A United 727 on my way to Boot Camp in San Diego.

The interior is full-executive type no more than 10 seats. A real beauty.

I liked this paint scheme then, and I still think it looks great. Clean and distinctive, even in this world of sophisticated graphics, "wraps" and the like.

I’d like to have them offer a flight, in the DC-3 or B-247, on one of the original cross-country routes.
