Скачать или смотреть British Airways BOAC Retro Boeing 747-400 [G-BYGC] Landing & Taxiing at O'Hare [03.05.2019]

Speedbird 295 Heavy lands on Runway 28-Center ( RWY 28C ) and taxies to its gate at International Terminal 5 ( Int'l T5 ) at Chicago O'Hare International / Int'l Airport ( ICAO : KORD / IATA : ORD ) on arrival from London Heathrow Airport ( EGLL / LHR ).

This aircraft is painted in a very special retro livery honoring the British Overseas Airways Corporation ( BOAC ), a now-defunct airline that merged with British European Airways ( BEA ) in 1971 and finalized in 1974 that created today's British Airways, the flag-carrier and main airline of the United Kingdom.

The reason behind this retro paint job is that British Airways is celebrating its centenary, or 100th anniversary ( 1919 -2019 ). While British Airways itself is only 45 years old, its lineage goes back to post-Great War 1919 with the mergers and buyouts of multiple former airlines that led to the creation of today's British Airways.
