South African "Jet Age" livery


South African "Jet Age" livery

South African Airlines - Suid Afrikaanse


Founded in 1947, South African Airlines (SAA) started with 6 DC-3 aircraft, loaned from Great Britain.


They entered the Jet Age in 1958, with the 707-120. Along with this aircraft came a new livery, ditching the bright, tribal colours of the DC-3

for a more subdued, high-class look.


First Class meals, wine, and champagne place this far above it's regional competition.


These aircraft, a VC10, a 707-420, and a Lockheed Super Constellation all wear the 1958 "Jet Age" livery.



Last time, I promise. I don't want to do another Canadian brand.
