October 30, 20223 yr An airline that has continuously existed for nearly 70 years, would be always expected to have a most diverse set of a/c (props and jets...classic and modern). Earlier, I'd shown the ANA L-1011 Tristar in 2 posts, including one picture of an ANA DC-3. Here, I put together these (sample) aircraft from ANA's fleet, all in one set. A remarkable airline in its own right, ANA had actually started operations with a de Havilland DH.114 Heron, which were then replaced by Douglas DC-3s (see below) ...then all the way to today, with their modern 787s (launch customer and largest operator of the 787 in the world) ...it has been surely a most interesting journey for this Japanese airline...! Pictures are in the order listed below... Douglas DC-3 Convair CV 440 B727-200 (PW "noisy" JT8D Engines) B767-300 (GE Engines) B777-300 (PW Engines) Lockheed L-1011 Tristar (Came equipped only with RR Engines) B747-400 (GE Engines) B787-8 (From shot #8 onwards...this is ANA's smallest of 787 types with RR Engines; this is a complete 787 flight, ...in the special “mackerel” livery...) Hope you enjoy this collection of Images... (I've indicated the Engine types for the Jets, above, if you wished to know) .... Thanks for viewing...! Good flying...!!

November 2, 20223 yr Fantastic…I believe they were The “Launch Livery” for Boeing’s Dreamliner. 100%75%50%d8a34be0e82d98b5a45ff4336cd0dddc Patrick
November 5, 20223 yr Author Folks: Appreciated the kind words and comments...🙂...! On 11/2/2022 at 7:23 AM, Phantom88 said: Fantastic…I believe they were The “Launch Livery” for Boeing’s Dreamliner. Yes, you're correct, Patrick...!! I reconfirmed today, "The first two 787-8s operated by ANA (the launch customer) were delivered to the airline in 2011 wearing a special “mackerel” livery. The first one of those (JA801A) was repainted into the regular ANA livery in February 2017, while the second one (JA802A) emerged in the regular livery in October 2017." But the ANA 787-8 I'd caught pulling out of the Everett factory gates, was a regular livery, so it must have been a couple of line numbers down, but not much more ....
