One year after the beginning of deregulation, Braniff reached it's ultimate state. First, it introduced a classy, 3rd generation color scheme, "The Ultra". Second, Braniff was flying a Concorde interchange from Dallas to London and Paris through Washington D.C. Third, Boeing 747-100s, 200s, and SPs could be seen in far flung destinations such as Guam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, and Brussels. This overly aggressive expansion was one major reason for this colorful carrier's destruction.
