TURN ON WORD WRAP

Welcome to my Air Canada Wide body series. This is my version of AC's B747-238B in their lastest paint scheme. Fin 308 (c/n 21354) was delivered to Air Canada in Jan. 1988 but started life out in 1977 as Qantas VH-ECA. 308 could be seen flying on Air Canada's transcontinental, trans-Atlantic, Charter and some trans-Pacific routes (including Seoul and Hong Kong) but was retired in 1999 along with 306 & 307 to be replaced with A330. Before I get too much further I'd like to thank Craig Mosher & Robert Randazzo for the flight model, John Keane & Paul Haak for the flight model modifications, and Neil Cramer for the AF99 rework and for giving permission to repaint his Boeing. I'd also like to thank all the people at Airliners.net where I downloaded the pics to paint this a/c. For further information on AC's B747s please see the enclosed B747-aca.txt for a complete listing and/or Air Canada's website (www.aircanada.ca). Happy landings.

The Future:

Well I plan to finish off the Wide-body fleet which leaves me with a couple of B767's (I'm planning a 200, 200ER and a 300ER) and a couple of L1011's (well only the 100's made it into this scheme but I think I'll do a 500 as well unless anyone objects :). I might also paint up a DC-8 so that I have covered every jet a/c that has served in the AC fleet. Well back to the paint hanger with me
