The real problem with the AC tail is that it looks like someone quit painting half way through. I think a more deliberate look is in order. I remember seeing cars in dealers' lots with Plymouth on the front and Dodge on the back and realizing that is showed that no one paid attention at the plant. The cars lived up to expectations. As for the F-28's I had the pleasure of traveling on one of those museum pieces last year. Where did CP get them from? They seem to have materialized out of some garage sale. I thought I was going to ride on a CRJ competitor and then I deduced it was actually a competitor for the BAC-111 (1960's design. It must have interesting instrumentation for the pilot besides being ugly. There could be something to this - real classics might be exciting - Constellations and DC-3's anyone?
