Remember this? Delta's familiar red, white and blue Widget Logo wore the stars and stripes in 1976. This special design for the U.S. Bicentennial gave a patriot look to the aircraft fleet that year.
Delta's first Bicentennial plane rolled out of the paint shop in October 1975, and took its first flight to Boston, Massachusetts, a city with historic connections to the beginnings of our country.
The phrase “We the People … 1776-1976” in the design, refers not only to the preamble of the U.S. Constitution but to the spirit of the Delta personnel as they celebrated the nation’s 200th birthday.
