Ozark's Old Look

While sorting out some old color negative film from the 1970s I ran across this image that I believe I made in February 1977. It is noteworthy because the Ozark Air Lines DC-9 sitting at the game at Lambert St. Louis Airport is wearing the livery in which it was delivered. Ozark tweaked the livery by making its name at the front of the aircraft more prominent and modifying how much gray there is in the lower level of the plane. The gray was darker in the original livery and extended all the way to the nose, but in the later version it did not. The newer livery also had less gray. Compare this plane with the two nearby DC-9s. The tail design is unchanged. (Scanned from color negative film)
