I think this is the fastest commercial airliner in history (before concorde) (i could be wrong) but i like this aircraft and it would be fun to fly livery’s would be:
Delta (retro)
TWA
JAL
Swiss
Cathay Pacific
Elvis (not sure if thats real but its in FSX)
American had the 990 but we could skin it on to the 880 also had retro
it was built to compete with the 707 and dc-8 by being smaller and faster but it failed to create demand
here is link to wikipedia of all the operators us navy also used this Convair 880 - Wikipedia

This would be nice! Elvis did own an 880 entitled “Lisa Marie” after his daughter.

Not the fastest airliner, there’s this thing called the Concord you may have heard about. But besides that, I love this plane so much

This thing was flying 15 years before the Concorde. At the time it was the fastest jetliner.
