Information on AeroAmerica - thanks to Irish251 on flickr:

Aeroamerica's 720s wore a variety of versions of their colourful livery. The company was set up in 1973 and headquartered at Boeing Field. In 1975 the company established an overseas base at the then new Berlin Tegel Airport and this was its main operating base until 1979. Aeroamerica ceased operations in 1982.
