Orange Tails seen at JFK
I've been spotting for almost 30 years and was thinking about aircraft bearing orange (or partially orange) tails. All I could think of is Viasa D10 (they also flew a B74F for 1 season every Mon. arriving JFK at 1800). I actually took car service out there to see it. Also orange were LTU L10, SAA ( orange and blue lettering and Springbok), and the Braniff "Big Orange" which flew weekly into JFK from S. America (Rio I believe). Which airliners did I omit?

I wonder if that orange will turn to brown once the UPS acquisition is complete.

I do recall seeing the SAA 747 SP as a somewhat regular visitor at JFK around 20-25 years ago. Used to be parked at BA's terminal, many times in Concorde's regular parking spot.
-
Good memory. The SAA 747SP did indeed use the BA Term (now T7). Then, SAA moved for a while over to the AAL Terminal.

Thanks. I was unaware that a TNT B74F still comes to JFK. In all my years of spotting, I've never seen a TNT in person. I'm sure Homeland Security loves that title. Just joking!

TNTs 777,and 767-300 freighters make the occasional appearance too.

Weren't the original Qantas "Kangaroo" tails orange when they came to JFK in the 70's
