Braniff Fokkers

A new Braniff rose from the ashes of the original airline 1983 thanks to a reorganization by the Hyatt Corporation. The Fokker 100, first flew in 1986, caught the eye of the carrier as a suitable replacement of their aging and range-limited BAC-111s, passed down from their previous incarnation. Braniff placed an order of 18 Fokker 100s in 1988, which would've been registered as N202BN to N219BN, but none were delivered due to the airline's increasing financial hardships. These airframes would then be passed between various carriers such as TAM and MexicanaClick.

I used Braniff II's launch livery as well as their 1989 revised livery (which graced their A320s in reality), which I believe would've been worn by the fleet of Fokkers had the carrier been able to take delivery of them. Although the airline had also brought back the more stunning Ultra colors in 1988, it appears that they were only worn by the 727s.
