Braniff added to its DC-8-62 fleet in late 1969 with two extra aircraft registered N1808E and N1809E.
Following the merger Braniff introduced several new colour shades utilising Panagra's green and yellow shades and named accordingly Panagra Green and Panagra Yellow.
This ship wore the Medium Blue, Panagra Yellow and Panagra Green jellybean schemes in the late 60s. She was operated by Pan Am in their colours between Jan 70 and Apr 71 as part of an interchange agreement before returning to Braniff where it took up the Green/Light Green Flying Colours scheme and then the Perseus Green Ultra livery till Braniff’s demise.
