1970's decor is a mistake that should never be repeated. Some 1970's fashion, though, I'll allow.

Same here. Certainly better than the current ones.

Let's not forget Braniff, either. Extra points for having Alexander Calder do a livery for them.

I love the gold/orange SWA motifs. They still have it on 3 of their 737s, IIRC.

Yeah, I've always had a thing for their color scheme. It's kinda polarizing but it's a hell of a lot better looking than the yellow/green color they had on their 727s.

Yeah, that is eye-watering. But not quite as garish as Hughes Airwest's "Flying Banana" motif:
