Fans of colour schemes from days gone by <link to Lost Europe book> love it when an airline acknowledges its heritage and paints one of its aircraft in a former livery.
This has been going on for quite a few years and it always surprises me when another one turns up without much fanfare.
Here are 10 European retro jets to watch out for:
Lufthansa 747-800 D-ABYT
Aer Lingus A320 EI-DVM
Air Malta A320 9H-AEI
KLM 737-800 PH-BXA
Austrian Airlines A320 OE-LBP
LOT Polish Airlines EMB-175ER SP-LIE
TUI (Hapag-Lloyd) B737-800 D-AHLK
Condor B767-300 D-ABUM
TAROM 737-700 YR-BGG
Lufthansa A321 D-AIDV
Love vintage airlines and colour schemes?
Our new book, Lost Airline Colours of Europe is packed full of vintage airlines, airliners and liveries of days gone by.

WANTED TO KNOW: If there is anyway in the USA or elsewhere where I can still get a ride on a DC 8 ? Used to really enjoy the ride on this older heavier Jet than more modern jets today. Please advise & THANKS, John Turner
Hi John, no sadly there are no passenger-carrying DC-8s left flying, and only a few cargo examples still flying. Sad times!
A few more that I know of and have seen are Condor A320 D-AICA, SAS A319 OY-KBO and Turkish A330 TC-JNC.
Yes, there are some great examples out there. Thanks Paul!
