TURN ON WORD WRAP

Welcome to my Air Canada Narrow body series. This is my version of AC's DC9-32 in their lastest paint scheme. Fin 731 (c/n 47294) was delivered Nov. 1968 and can still be seen flying throughout North America on Air Canada's short-haul, Rapidair, and transborder routes. This a/c has worn almost every scheme since Trans Canada Airlines was renamed Air Canada and has gone through many modifications including the recent Energizer program. Before I get too much further I'd like to thank Sam Chin for the flight dynamics, and Bruce Bridges for the flight model and for giving permission to repaint his AIRLINERS USA DELUXE DC-9. 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 DC-9's please see the enclosed dc9-aca.txt for a complete listing. Happy landings.

The Future:

Well my plans are to finish off the a/c's I have already started and to complete the entire Air Canada fleet in the current scheme. I think I'll next work on the B747 fleet which consisted of 100's, 200's, and 400's. Then I'll finish up with the rest of the Wide-body fleet. After I finish the current scheme plan to then do the a/c's in previous schemes but that will take me awhile.
