January 31, 201313 yr Hmmm. To me 3 shades of red, and 2 of the grey along with the white are quite evident in this picture: http://www.airlinere...01/DSC_0090.jpg I have a couple of folks researching it for me that can touch the plane. Hopefully they or someone on this forum that is an American employee can confirm the number of shades. I can see where you might think there are three shades by that particular picture. I would hate to go change mine and then find out it's only 2 shades. It would be great to get a shade count on the gray as well. So I'll give it a few more days...lol. Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)
January 31, 201313 yr I have just uploaded my Brand new California One Version 2 to AVSIM, it should be available soon. Here are some pics. It has been completely redone.

January 31, 201313 yr Hi guys, This will be my first time posting here on the avsim forums, even though I do check the forum on a regular basis. I came across the discussion over the tail colors on the new American Airlines livery and came across this video. I hope it helps, and thank you for the amazing liveries. Jesse Alexander

I came across the discussion over the tail colors on the new American Airlines livery and came across this video. I hope it helps, and thank you for the amazing liveries. Jesse, That video helped a lot. The gentleman in the video states they used 6 different colors along the tail and then added the 2 shades of blue. So that would imply 1 white and 2 shades of gray along with 3 shades of red. I'll probably tweak my tail colors and try to have a Version 1.5 upload ready tomorrow evening. Then I can concentrate on a fictional -700. I wanted to get the tail confirmed and adjusted on the -800 if need be before I started on the -700 as I can use the same paintwork on the rear of the -700. Again...a great find in that video! :lol: Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)

I saw the airplane in person at the DFW maintenance hangar. This is the best picture from my phone.

January 31, 201313 yr Sorry it's so late, but what started as a few changes in the tail turned in to a remixing of all the colors. American "Soaring Spirit" has been uploaded. Download here: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=174916 Chris Hicks
February 1, 201313 yr Sorry it's so late, but what started as a few changes in the tail turned in to a remixing of all the colors. American "Soaring Spirit" has been uploaded, and should be available soon if I didn't forget anything. Thanks Chris - V1.5 looks great!

February 1, 201313 yr All, I'm almost done re-working N880NN to version 1.5. It will probably get uploaded tomorrow evening. While the video supplied stated there were 6 colors used beside the 2 blue colors, it appears to me that there are 3 shades of gray and 3 shades of red. The lightest gray is close to a white, but still a gray looking closely at the detailed pictures that are available now. I'm hoping to have version 1.5 of done tomorrow evening and might make the new version another registration number. Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)
