Love the Livery!!

I disagree with the whole chrome dome look. I can't stand looking at American Airlines planes. The chrome look makes them look like a tin can with wings. Keep the silvery gray or else all white.

Personally, I don't the Celine Dion paint scheme. Too wishy washy. I always liked the UA grey/blue livery and the old blue/white Pan Am one.

Really Nice

An excellent livery. Probably one of the best-looking "imaginary" Air Canada planes I have seen

Theres a 777 too

They need to bring back the goose. It's the symbol of terror for innocent Americans walking through parks and parking lots in the winter. MOOOWAHAHAHA. I've seen a AC 319's with the ice blue tail but white body, I think that's really sharp.

Keeping the goose and the Maple Leaf is brilliant. I like it very much. Some people from AC should pay attention. This livery has a high branding value.

Sometimes it pays to be innovative.

Planes design is great! And remember that no logo is painted now. It goes on in a multilayered decal in several sections.

LOOKS GREAT!

That livery is slick tho ^
If you're playing cards, depending on the game, it's not a bad strategy, though the design is truly the best I've ever seen!

I like it very much.
Definitely better than the toothpaste blue they have presently adopted for the tail of their aircraft.

Have you all got your glass on upside down?

Hmm. Silver plane. Red Logo. Red Engines. (Anyone seen a Virgin plane lately?) Mind you, you're right, they don't have a dead goose spattered down the back...

Maybe its jet lag, but when I looked at the livery on the 744 my first impression was that if we added a cigarette and a garter belt, and the thing could be trolling for Pax under a streetlight
