N604AE (cn 145058) Coming in a little bit after the G4 from Paris, this 'American Eagle' EMB-145LR showed up sporting a 'Blue Eagle' on the tail. According to a DFW Spotter Blog "this is one of a small handful of American Eagle "blue tails" in the fleet where the tail is all blue instead of red/blue as is standard for the fleet. This particular aircraft, N604AE, appears to have been N604DG at one time with a regular red/blue eagle on the tail, then went to Trans States as N817HK where it wore the blue tail and then back to American Eagle as N604AE. It was built and delivered originally in May 1998. The blue tails were used on the Trans States ERJs that flew with American Connection titles instead of American Eagle since Trans States wasn't part of AMR. When they went back to Eagle, the tails stayed the same but the titles reverted back to American Eagle. "

Probably left it blue to save money. No RJ titles on the engines either.

Too cool! At least I know I wasn't seeing things! Thanks for the history.

Nice catch! We have a couple all blue eagle shots in the gallery, but they wear Connection titles. Thanks for the history!
