Man that's catchy really makes me wanna fly them

Thanks for this post. As a former AAer employee from the silverbird generation, that was the spirit that guided us to work hard. Its a shame its a completely different company today. I was proud to have worked form AA during the silverbird generation. Thanks for posting this video!!

Superb.

This is a much nicer livery ,compared to excuse of a livery now painted on their planes .Obviously, this commercial was created after they purchased Eastern Airlines Latin American routes as well as obtaining Eastern Airlines Miami to London Gatwick route before moving to Heathrow. I have flown in many an American Airlines, DC 10 ,especially on the Miami to LAX route. My first 767, DC 10 and 777 flights were on American Airlines. I certainly do miss the silver bird look.

Used to be a great airline

We were proud. I loved my little 8 years there...lol....Oh, how time flies.

Memories. Luxury Jet. Luxury Liner. My Red Coat. My 35 years wear the best. Were American Airlines Something Special in the Air. I still sing the song. Thanks to all my AA FAMILY, and all my greatest customers ❤️

Back when AA was the best of the best! I miss the silver bird!

Thank you for this post! This commercial still brings back the tremendous pride of three "+" decades of employment at a company that was committed to the absolute best for its people and customers. The Silver Bird, while long gone, is never forgotten. How grand you were, and it was an honor to have been part of your gleam of excellence. Again, thank you!

Thanks for sharing, brings back great memories

I used to visit the C.R. Smith Museum a good number of times when I was a kid, and I would watch “The Spirit of American” during each visit. But the last time I went several years ago, I saw that “The Spirit of American” was slightly updated with a few new shots, and rearranging some old ones around. One instance being removing anything showing the World Trade Center probably due to 9/11. There was also the staff roll with an instrumental version of the main theme by Michael Bolton, which was pretty neat. But about the three planes flying in synchronization, my father told me he thought it was some sort of tribute to the lives lost on 9/11. Don’t know if that was the case when “The Spirit of American” was updated. Besides all that, is there any way to obtain the updated “Spirit of American” film? Or is it not possible?

1:17 - 1:23 fun fact about those seats: From other photos of the theater I've seen, there is a button below the recline button that used to control a legrest. At some point, those specific seats (vs the variations with lambskin) had the legrests removed. Would certainly explain why I saw on a 757 flight (OGG-LAX) a "please lower legrests before landing" sort of thing, despite the seat not having them. 0_o

Nice

Fabulous!!!

Nicely done.

What?! You mean you don't have to hand screw on the bottle caps anymore....

Excellent. Let me know how the companies I represent may assist in your success.

That’s Captain Bob Smith in the left seat.

This is great!

Great stuff, Fred! This was quite an achievement, and the glimpse behind the curtain is illuminating and fascinating.
