Ken Pickford found the video linked below posted by Reel Life / CanadaMotorSport on YouTube On November 5, 2021. The video was taken in 1992 at Calgary and includes at least one member of almost the entire Canadian Airlines mainline fleet then (except the B-747-400) - a few B-737's, 2 B-767's, 1 DC-10, 1 A320 (landing at 16:02). The B-737 being pushed backwards from the hangar (pictured below) is an ex-Pacific Western B-737 Combi (C-GOPW) equipped with a gravel kit. Then age 12 years, delivered to PW in 1980, then with the 'Canadian North' part of CP, named 'Spirit of Norman Wells'. It went on to the independent Canadian North in 2001 and spent 20 yrs there. Still in service with Air Inuit, only acquired a few months ago at age 41. See NetLetter #1333 for our article on the Canadian North fleet (including C-GOPW) from December 2015. Editors' Note: Two AC B-727-200's from 16:29 to 16:34. More than half of the 39 AC 727's had already left the fleet. Twelve more went in '92 and the last five in '93. All except a couple went to FedEx for freighter conversion. One AC A320 seen near the beginning and an AC B-767 after the B-727's are painted with the short lived livery where a burgundy stripe was added. |
