The 737-300 was the workhorse of the skies during a time when airline liveries were colorful and distinct. Here are a few community favorites that look stunning on the IXEG model:

  • United Airlines (Battleship Grey): Before the "Rhapsody in Blue," there was the Battleship. This grey and blue scheme screams "business travel in the 90s." It looks incredibly realistic under harsh storm lighting in X-Plane.
