Salt Lake 2002  

The Soaring Spirit
N864DA
2000-03

Just 6 years after the Summer Games in Atlanta, another Delta hub hosted the Olympic Games... this time Salt Lake City hosted the Winter Games. This special livery was identical on the tail on both sides of this 777 and featured speed skater champion Bonnie Blair, while luger Duncan Kennedy and nordic combined skier Ryan Heckman were each featured on one side of the fuselage.

Note these athletes were already retired by the late 90s and did not take part in the 2002 Games. The small "Delta Air Lines" titles (bottom picture) were changed for bigger "Delta" (top picture) titles in 2000, in line with the corporate identity change at that time.
