HISTORY ASPECTS:
The American Airlines McDonnell Douglas MD-80, registered N495AA, was an iconic member of the airline's "Super 80" fleet. Introduced in the 1980s, the MD-80 series became a workhorse for American Airlines, serving both domestic and short-haul international routes. N495AA, like many of its peers, donned the airline's classic polished aluminum livery with bold red, white, and blue stripes, symbolizing the elegance and professionalism synonymous with American Airlines during this era. This livery became instantly recognizable and is fondly remembered by aviation enthusiasts.
Known for its reliability and efficiency, the MD-80 series helped American Airlines dominate the skies in the late 20th century. N495AA operated from major hubs such as Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago O’Hare, connecting passengers to cities across North America. Its narrow-body design and powerful Pratt & Whitney JT8D engines made it ideal for short to medium-haul operations, balancing passenger capacity with performance. By the 1990s, American Airlines' MD-80 fleet had become one of the largest in the world, cementing the aircraft’s legacy in the airline's history.
As the aviation industry transitioned toward more fuel-efficient models in the early 2000s, the MD-80s began to be retired, but their impact on American Airlines' growth and success remains undeniable. N495AA served faithfully until its retirement, symbolizing an era of dependable and stylish air travel. The old livery on this MD-80 continues to evoke nostalgia for a time when polished aluminum gleamed on airport tarmacs across the United States.
This 1:150 scale REG#N495AA in its classic livery is a timeless piece for collectors and aviation fans. Its exquisite detailing, from the polished aluminum finish to the meticulously replicated logos and stripes, makes it a standout tribute to one of American Airlines' most beloved aircraft.
