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...

Malcolm Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Harmony Airways Fleet Aircraft Number Passengers Notes B E Total Boeing 757-200 5 16 155 171 1 left the fleet in 2004 Bombardier CRJ-100 1 0 50 50 Operated from June 2006 - October 2006 on Vancouver-Calgary route As of March 2007 the Harmony Airways fleet included four Boeing 757-200 aircraft.[2] On March 22, 2007, the National Post reported that Harmony Airways would reduce its fleet to three 757s. In the summer of 2007, British engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce purchased two of Harmony's 757s in order to harvest the plane's RB211-535 engines to support other customers' engine needs. Rolls-Royce then sold the remaining aircraft hulls to an American salvage company. [12] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
