In the early 1970s, artist Alexander Calder was commissioned to paint several aircraft operated by Braniff International Airways. One of Calder's contributions was "The Flying Colors of the United States," a livery to commemorate the U.S. Bicentennial and designed for a Boeing 727. Do you have a favorite airline livery?
