Braniff Calder Paint Boeing B-727-291 N408BN CN 19993 LN 549 . Taken on March 28 , 1979 .In December 1972, American Modern Master Alexander Calder was commissioned by Braniff to paint an aircraft. Calder was introduced to Harding Lawrence by veteran advertising executive George Stanley Gordon, who would eventually take over Braniff`s advertising account.[20] Calder`s contribution was a Douglas DC-8 known simply as `Flying Colors of South America.` In 1975 it was showcased at the Paris Air Show in Paris, France. Its designs reflected the bright colors and simple designs of South America and Latin America, and was used mainly on South American flights. Later in 1975, he debuted `Flying Colors of the United States` to commemorate the Bicentennial of the United States. This time, the aircraft was a Boeing 727-200. First Lady Betty Ford dedicated `Flying Colors of the United States` in Washington, D.C. on November 17, 1975. Calder died in November 1976 as he was finalizing a third livery, termed `Flying Colors of Mexico` or `Salute To Mexico`. Consequently, this livery was not used on any Braniff aircraft
