It depicted the Canadian flag and flew on a tour across Canada and the US for all to see. As such, the nose and tail were painted entirely red, with the white middle section of the aircraft fuselage featuring a large maple leaf. But there's a reason that the leaf looks slightly washed compared to the red on either end. Backtracking to the livery's name, instead of simply painting on a big red maple leaf on the center of the plane, a close look will reveal the names of approximately 22,000 AC employees alphabetically. "All of the signatures on this anniversary aircraft are testament to a company which represents the best of Canada's airline industry," said Robert Milton, then-President and Chief Executive Officer. The aircraft is now retired, but the livery was a great way to celebrate Air Canada and its many employees. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
