How about some fun suggestions?

Okay I'll start:

How about a nice two-tone scheme:  Bleed-me-dry Red all over the bottom, stock-option green just out of reach above the windows and a fireworks display on the tail?

How about a composite paint job including all of the carriers they absorbed over the years (include the carriers that those ones also absorbed)  Would have to be the biggest aircraft in the fleet though to carry all of those id's.

It would be great to see three 767's painted: in AC's first colour scheme with the rondel; CP Air's Big Orange and PWA's last livery.  The Wardair livery was too dull to celebrate.

I was too young to get on with Wardair so there is a dark side of the moon.

How about a series of dollar bills flying from  the  nose backwards  to the tail, which could be  painted with say, a Toilet,  Robert Milton's bank account,  Bryce Mackassey's pension fund, exec bonuses, Celine concert, Tango etc.  or your choice of  where you think it might be going or has gone.   :biggrin2:   :glare:  :excl:

CP Air's Big Orange
  When that came out some thought it was the primer coat. Took a while to believe they meant it.  :Grin-Nod:   (Just joking) !!!!!
