Around the same time All Japan Airways started taking delivery of 737 classics in the late 1980s to early 1990s, they also started taking delivery of the Boeing 767. They replaced the Boeing 727 and the Douglas DC-8 on medium haul routes around east Asia, however, with changing ETOPS regulations during that time and AJA's disappointment with the MD-11, (coming soon) 767-200ERs and 767-300ERs started being deployed on flights to India, Australia, and Honolulu during off peak season. All Japan Airways would operate about 80 of the 767 (200 and 300 along with their ER variants) before they were replaced in the early 2010s.
Nice, but the naming of the airline is an issue. "Japan" is not really used in any context in the Japanese language nor was English until it became more widespread the 80s/90s. Most likely it would have been some kind of variation of Nihon/Nippon, and most realistically a Japanese-language name instead of one in English up until the late 90s.
Hmm, I'll keep that in mind along with what you said for the 737 classic for when I can get around to redoing the DC-8, DC-9, and Boeing 727. However, this livery is from the 1990s. What fonts do you recommend for Japanese?
