Ive always been intrigued by the UPS choice of brown... the actual colour is "Pullman Brown" , a railroad colour.
The founder of UPS wanted to use yellow , back when they only had trucks , but one of the partners told him they would never look clean , so brown it was..... but note, he still got a bit of yellow in there.

Yes I like this one biggrin.gif I've done many many miles in that UPS plane on my sim. She and her B752 twin sister get a lot of UPS work from me.
Great picture and thanks for the story info too, very interesting
