At O'Hare waiting to catch a flight and came across one of American Airlines more rare nostalgic liveries PSA.

For 1/2 a second, I thought it was a Sun Country jet.

Did you get a deep dish while you wait?

No, just a free cup of coffee and some chocolate covered mini pretzels

Contrary to popular belief, most Chicagoans eat thin/tavern style pizza. Even for us, we only have it once a blue moon.

I actually have both in my fridge right now too

Very cool! That paint job really takes you back.
Headed to San Diego.

Oh, no, I'm not on it. Just looked it up to see where it travels. It spends a lot of time in Charlotte, which I just flew in from last night. I almost got to see it there.

American operates a 737 and/or A320F in the livery of each of their heritage companies (IE: older American liveries and/or acquisitions). My favorite is the Astrojet livery.

Did it have the paisley upholstery?

They also maintain and still fly the DC-3 Flagship Detroit. It's maintained by a volunteer crew.

You might want to Google PSA images, you might find interesting the uniforms of their flight crews.

They also have a very intertwined history with Southwest Airlines. Another good google search.

You might also want to look up books by Robert Serling. Yes, he's the brother. And a very excellent aviation writer.

Beats watching TV.

Pacific Southwest Airlines had some really wacky ideas. Like buying an L-1011 primarily for the busy San Francisco-LA/San Diego corridor. The idea was that they would use them during peak times where the high capacity would help. Their big problem was that they took longer to clean up, and back then there was frequent service (at least one flight per hour) where often business travelers might just take the next one on full fare tickets.

Not really rare stepdad said. He flew for that airline a LOT. Just a retro paint job; I’ve saw all them before multiple times.
