I came across a video of OMDB from 1998. The classic aircraft and retro liveries made this both fun and interesting to watch. With the popularity of Dubai (home to so many modern A380s and B777s), I thought the community might enjoy this look back. Highlights include the Emirates A310, Qatar B727 and Volga-Dnepr An-124.

Damn, I gotto love these 727’s! Amazing how things change so quickly!
By the way, has anyone noticed that Malaysian’s livery is the only one that didn’t change?

The only thing that upsets me is that all the diversity on Emriets’s fleet has sadly gone away 😔
