Braniff’s Retro Flair

Braniff International was known for stylish and visually striking aircraft paint schemes that set it apart from other carriers of its era. The Boeing 727-100 itself, debuting in the early 1960s, became a workhorse for numerous airlines due to its reliable performance, powerful three-engine layout, and impressive short-field capabilities. This repaint revives the airline’s “Jellybean Yellow” look, reminiscent of the vibrant designs that Braniff introduced to stand out in the competitive airline market of the time.
