This promotional partnership stood out at a time when airlines were often conservative in their marketing, making Braniffs aircraft some of the most photographed and well-loved in aviation.

Despite Braniff’s eventual bankruptcy in 1982, the BAC 111-200’s Reebok livery continued to resonate with aviation fans and advertising enthusiasts alike.
