He was named after the famous Braniff Boeing 727 “Flying Colors of the United States” used to commemorate the Bicentennial of the America in 1976.

Oh my what an inspiration he is to us as he reminds some of us of ourselves as children when we looked with awe at airplanes and found joy in aviation. He now soars with the very best of angels and I ray his family find strength to continue his inspiration for other children. Heartfelt condolences.
