American Airlines has a new 100th anniversary "Flagship" livery. It is based on the original DC-3 livery from 90 years ago.

It'll fly on a 77W (N735A) from next month.

#AvGeek

At the base of the livery is the airline’s Silver Eagle® paint color, which is currently found on more than 1,600 aircraft in American’s mainline and regional fleet. Across both sides of the aircraft, the iconic orange lightning bolt motif makes its bold reappearance after first debuting nearly 90 years ago on the Douglas DC-3.
