The whole Aerosucre fleet gained 40 años tail titles in 2010. HK-727 was retired with this scheme in March 2015, ending a whopping 49-year service life in Colombia with Avianca, Sam & Aerosucre. The aircraft is preserved in Cali. Details about its very last flight here.

[Thumbs up]   [Pulgares hacia arriba]

HK-727
2004-06

It is unclear why this aircraft -the very first 727 to be delivered in Colombia- gained an all-white livery with thumbs up decals on the tail in late 2004... any piece of information most welcome.

Celebration '99  

C-GXFA

C-FRST

C-GFRB

C-FNVT
1998-99
C-GNWN
1998-99
C-GDUN
1998-99

It is unclear to me if these special titles were indeed to celebrate New Year 1999... C-FNVT was in a NWT Air hybrid scheme (with the AC tail) while C-GNWN had a basic white livery.

Bye-Bye 727
D-AHLS
1991

A smile and funny retirement titles for the last operations of the 727 at Hapag-Lloyd in the Spring of 1991. Hapag-Lloyd had started operations in 1973 with 727s.

Clouds - Pink  

N356QS
1983-84

Low-cost operator Northeastern initially flew from points in the US' northeast to sunspots in Florida and later in the West. The airline painted two of its ex-Pan Am 727s with clouds liveries to raise brand awareness. The venture was relatively short-lived though, and rapid expansion led to a quick bankruptcy in 1985. The pink version was nicknamed "Rosie".

This aircraft quickly gained the "Puffy" nickname among employees.
