I have always wondered why United never painted the Convair 340's into the 1958 "Jet Delivery" scheme (all the DC-6's and DC-7's were). Anyway, they did make an attempt to use the new colors and logo in a kind of hybrid scheme: www.airliners.net/photo/United-Airlines/Convair-340-31/1342494/L/I can't decide if this is attractive or not... |

Yeah red pants and maroon jacket. Stylish in a "Rockford Files" kinda way.
About the plane: it really is an Odd Job. Clearly a transitional moment at United.

I like it. It's cleaner than the original paintjob, but still sort of retro. Hmmm...can you have Retro Retro? Or would that be Pre Modern Retro?  Al |

I like it it looks pretty good to me. It's a matter of personal taste, but I've always liked simpler or "cleaner" paint jobs.
regarding the pants...glad they are not plaid.

I like it too. The Convair is my favourite twin and I like to see them in "different" colour schemes. Yeah, those pants are "different" too. I'm guessing that guy also drives a convertable too???  I like to see old cars restored, but I'm glad you can't restore those duds.... Cheers, Mike |
