All well and good to include each type and so on, but is the data a bit too cumbersome now?

Also, do we know for sure whether everything is being re-painted? The 763s probably aren't much longer for the fleet, I wouldn't be surprised if they never got in the new livery. And the 320 family are going to start to go later this year too.

I built it off similar postings on airliners.net on fleet repairing, but as I mentioned, not wed to it. If painting goes as quickly as I expect I assume many of these types will be filled with *some* changes (A320 and 763 as possible exceptions)

if I am wed to anything it would be around the numbers per fleet repainted and adding tail numbers. Numbers per fleet gives a sense of where things are overall, and tail numbers seem more logical at a glance than registrations.

Fins are easier to see in most cases than actual registrations.....

It's only a model, but they bothered to make one.



They had models for everything (including the 737) except the BEH.

GGN I could see reprinting their B1900s if they are doing the CRJ fleet as well. As for EVAS they don't seem to be into painting judging by the fact that they fly around one 1900 that is completely white with just the red Air Canada titles on it. EVAS also had a 1900 that they flew around NFLD for a while that was in the US AIRWAYS livery with just a singe EVAS logo over the American flag.

Is it just me or does anyone find the rondelle placement on the tail fin to be a tad low? It's like UA's *A livery and how the * seems low. It sort of bugs me - it just seems off.

Agreed. Though It does seem to have been slipping down / getting larger over the last 50 or so years...

I find it too low also. Especially on the 787 tail. They should center it, even if it has to be a bit smaller, it will look better.

The CR9 allows you to open and close the L1 door for the staircase from the cargo door .

OMG I just put 1 & 1 together and figured out who BrianToronto is!!!!!!! Dude hi! Next time you're working in YVR bring me! I hear you've been doing the same job since 1987, wouldn't you like some company to change things up?

And also, thanks Adam for making a wiki yet again! You sir, are the wiki master!

Sean, I think you might be mistaken

From the YYZ Spotters Network (Wiki updated)

1) A321 FLN452 C-GITY flew ROW-YYZ today in the new black & white c/s.

2) A321 FLN454 C-GIUE flew YYZ-ROW this morning for re-paint

3) EMB-170 C-FRQN due to fly YRQ-YYZ this evening as SKV7061 in new black&white c/s

You list the BEH fleet in the wiki, but I've not seen any images that indicate they will be re-painted. Can you confirm?

It's the same for the 763s and even the 333s.
