January 19, 201313 yr My previous reaction was I think that was too harsh. Still, I think a good paint not only to puts a brand name in your face, but it also seeks to compliment the sleekness and elegance of the airframe itself imho. If you look at an old AA 727, it was as if form, function, and brand logos all came together in synchronization. This one doesn't do that for me--unfortunately one of the images that comes to my mind is that of a circus train. Maybe I'm just sorry to see the last livery that has remained the same for my entire life go away, too.
January 21, 201313 yr The tail looks like the image below on the PMDG NGX. I uploaded that livery just after midnight GMT. Over 300 downloads so far. So I guess some folks like it. Tail: New Livery on the NGX: Steve StubbsUSAF (retired)

January 23, 201313 yr Author When I started this thread, at first I thought it would all be negative, but I'm pleasantly surprise how many repaints and how many downloads there has been on this livery. I guess it's not all that bad like people thought! Johnny Rosario
January 23, 201313 yr I would have preferred this. You have my vote mate! This one looks a ton better!!! Lionel
January 24, 201313 yr I think it's a new face for American,considering their previous scheme wasn't exactly good looking by any means... But everyones entitled to their own opinion! Good for you AA! -Brandon Brandon Binder Drei Tage war der Vater krank - jetzt trinkt er wieder - Gott sei dank!
January 25, 201313 yr DId anyone else notice that the video only uses T7's? John Guidry AMD Phenom™II X4 965 Black Edition Quad-Core Sapphire ATI 5870 1GB GDDR5
January 25, 201313 yr We parked next to the 737 with the new paint in Miami the other morning. It does look better in person. We were flying one of the newest unpainted ones and when I was doing the preflight I was thinking that there will be no more new unpainted planes coming to us. A clean freshly painted plane looks nice but nothing beats that bare aluminum look when it is brand new. It's almost like looking in a mirror. Tom Landry
January 26, 201313 yr Author I'll prob get killed by saying this.. But I like it! I'm with you too. The more I kept looking at it, I began to like it more. The old AA look was starting to look just that, old. Johnny Rosario
January 26, 201313 yr I would have preferred this. I would have hated that. I'm not a fan of the new livery, maybe it still needs to grow on me. But this.... Thanks, but no thanks. There were a few very nice artist impressions on some other forums though. Name available upon request
