Jetblast from the Past #01 - Delta Airlines Liveries

Here's a look at Delta though the past few decades...

A nice DC-4 in the 1940s...


A Curtiss C-46F Commando in the 1950s...a cargo plane...


A Delta DC-6 in 1967...


A Convair 880-22-2, a 4-engined turbojet (1967)...


1976...a Lockheed L-1011 widebody trijet. These planes were state-of-the-art during the 1970s, as well as the main competitor for the three-engine Douglas DC-10, which was purchased by many other United States domestic airlines throughout the 1970s-1980s. This paint scheme was popular through the 1990s, and even into the early 2000s, on Delta aircraft...


2004...a Boeing 757-200 series of aircraft, in the livery previous to that adopted for today's aircraft...


A Boeing 767-400 series in Delta's newest livery...


Thanks to www.airliners.net for the photos.

On a related note: Delta has phased out its Boeing 767-200 planes.

well, we've never ridden a 767-200 (at least I haven't). They still fly the -300s.
