Let's retire the 747 in the US sporting a Pan Am livery

The year was 1965 and Joe Sutter was being transferred from Boeing 737's development team to manage the design studies for a new airliner, ordered by Pan Am's Juan Trippe and supported by Boeing's Bill Allen. An airliner that would revolutionize air travel and the industry itself, reinventing the way planes were manufactured until then. A jet that the world would come to know as Boeing 747. Pan Am was more than the launch customer of the 747, it was an airline so instrumental in the creation of this airplane that their input would borderline mark them as co-designer of the type. A feat unmatched by any single airline before or since.

This year marks the end of the scheduled passenger service with any US airline of the Boeing 747. Our idea is simple: we would like to see "The Queen of the Skies" retire as it begun its service in 1970, emblazoned by the colors of the airline that saw it being born. Please sign this petition and help us ask Delta Airlines and United Airlines pay tribute to the Boeing 747 and to its creating airline by following the current industry practice of creating "retro jet liveries" to honor their past and their heritage and painting their last retiring 747-400 in the original Pan Am markings that the airplane sported in 1970 when it was delivered, and so bring the operational life of this wondrous airplane to a full circle.

Our petition is aimed both towards United Airlines and Delta Airlines, mostly because they will be the last US airlines in retiring the type, But also because both airlines own a part of Pan Am (United owns Pan Am's Pacific and Latin America routes and Delta Pan Am's Atlantic routes) and they are the last U.S. airlines operating the type.

Please sign the petition and share it with others and let's make this happen!

A little bit about me:
My name is Alfonso Vazquez and I'm a 35 year old executive pilot, currently residing in Mexico. Ever since I was a child I've been fascinated by everything Pan Am and have many fond memories of the airline. Being a part of this project is a huge honor for me, and I hope as many other fellow Pan Am enthusiasts will join in so we can make this happen and pay tribute to both the 747 and this iconic and unforgettable airline.
