Saw the American Eagle E170 retrojet for the first time last month heading out on a work trip, it was parked at a remote stand at Terminal D. Not my best photo but it will do for now for me until I catch it in a better situation than through an A319 window smeared with someone's face schumtz.⁣ ⁣ I love heritage liveries and retrojets, N760MQ is no exception wearing these colors that once adorned the American Eagle fleet. Never really thought of it as Envoy and a lot of Eagle long timers I know never liked the Envoy name when it was unveiled in 2014- for a lot of them, the Envoy name marks a time when Eagle was no longer the exclusive regional for American Airlines, something that was once a source of pride for them. ⁣ ⁣ Envoy's headquarters aren't even part of the main American Airlines HQ complex at Skyview. When American had its old HQ complex at DFW Centerport, the Eagle HQ was there as well. ⁣ ⁣ Guess it's just a sign of the times but I admit to being a bit biased as I know many people in the regional airline industry who bust their asses and never get a fair shake by the mainline. My hat's off to those folks. My old day job in private practice got to know a lot of American Eagle folks who were my patients. This heritage livery reminds of those heady days when there was just one American Eagle and it reminds of those folks who saw me regularly at my old practice. ⁣ ⁣ #Avgeek #aviation #aircraft #planeporn #DFW #dfwavgeek #airport #planespotting⁣ ⁣ #Embraer #E170 #N760MQ #AmericanEagle #Envoy #American #Airlines #instagramaviation #splendid_transport #aviationlovers #aviationphotography #flight ⁣ ⁣ #AvGeeksAero #AvgeekSchoolofKnowledge #AvGeekNation #TeamAvGeek (at DFW Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgVzIgMuaZ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
