Canadian Airlines DC-10-30 "Spirit of Canadian/L'Esprit de Canadien"




A totally different special scheme appeared in July 1993 when Canadian applied enlarged employee signatures all over DC-10-30 N6150Z for a television commercial. In 1995 the process was repeated again when the airline ran a "Name the Aircraft" contest which resulted in DC-10-30, C-FRCE, being named Spirit of Canadian/L'Esprit de Canadien. The signatures of all the employees who entered were then transferred into decal form and a Canadian DC-10 was once again transformed into a signature billboard. On this occasion the aircraft entered service and has been seen all over the Canadian network.

what did AirCanada with the Canadians DC10??

L-1011-Heavy

They DUMPED Them IMMEDIATELY!!!
They Had Absolutely No Need For Them. The Acquisition Of The 3 744s To Augment Thier Fleet Of 9 (3 Each, 741, 742,744) Along With Canadian's Abundant 763s And 14 A-320s, It Was More Than Enough For Thier Long Haul Fleet. They Already Had 6 A-340s & Just Finished Taking Delivery Of A Dozen or So A-330s.
Since They Retired Thier 3 Resurrected L-1011s In 1999, There Would Be No Need To Operate High Maintenace Fuel Guzzling -10s.
Then Of Course Before 911 They Disposed Of The 741s & 2s. 744s Followed Post 911 When They Took Delivery Of 2 A-340-500s.
Then They Had a Massive Capaity Shortage & Acqured 763s & Resrrected 10 762s & 737s (From Canadian) From The Desert.
Interestingly Enought, They Augmented & Replaced DC-9s Simultaneously With An Abundance Of Ex-Canadian 737s, Which Now Are All Phased Out & Replaced By A-319s, EMB 175s & 195s

Yes It was, Otavio. And there is REAL Irony To This Story. It was a Model On His Wishlist. Not Just Any Wish. It Has His HOLY GRAIL! ( I Didn't Know. It Was Difficult To Decide Which Model To Give From the 50 Spares I Have)
That's The Plane He Flew On To Europe (Before Going To Russia) To Adopt His First Child.
It Also Fits Within His "Special Livery" Theme.

I also didn´t know that ! What a coincidence !!! I can imagine how happy he was. So actually this model must be in a very special place inside his heart and on his shelf named "model´s I´ve flown on".
