Prototypes!

Prototype N757A flys formation with her closely related sister, N767BA.

767 first flew in September 1981, followed later by the 757 in

Ahh, I see you found the livery you were looking for, or atleast one to modify. Looks great!

Indeed, its sadly a fs2002 767, which didnt really compliment the excellent fs9 757 repaint! But i think its worked out ok!

Thanks for the comments

Great craftsmanship Horse! I really like that classic Boeing house livery a lot.

Cool shot too ... good luck!

This reminds me of a book cover. (I think it was titled Airliners) It had multiple boeings in house color flying in formation.
Deja vu.

Ive got a very similar picture in a book that ive had some years, that gave me the idea (hence the search for the 767!)  Although it is in black and white.

The books called 'Civil Aviation-a design history' and it was published in 1986...i have had it since 1986

The bit with the 757/767 comes late in the book, obviously they were still quite new then, the author wonders if boeing made the right decision going with the narrow body on the 757!

I guess they did with over 1,000 sold!

I certainly prefer this house colour over the later 'dreamliner' look, and have since found a gorgeous 747 repaint for the PMDG in the same colours- but i guess things move on...!

Thanks for such a well thought out shot, very cool, even better since it is your own repaint  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Thanks Master, although technically i only 'adjusted' the paint job on the 767!!
