Air Canada just revealed their new paint scheme - looks like a throwback to the 90s colors. I especially like the burglar mask on the cockpit and the Maple Leaf on the underside.

I dig this. Looks pretty sweet.

Yeah I hated the baby blue scheme. This is much better.

I like it. Now they can lose baggage in more style.

I’m a fan of it. Somewhat of a throwback to their 90s/early 00s livery. I originally wanted them to go back to the red & white colours of the 70s & 80s, but this is still pretty nice.

There’s a nod to their 60s livery, which is similar (save for black AC titles, and black around the cockpit windows and top of radome). I posted a picture in another reply.

Paint a toilet and colour you’d like, it’s still a toilet. Air Canada is a really shitty company

Here’s an interesting addition. In the press release from AC, they show the 767-300ER in the new livery (page 8-9). This strikes me as odd since they were supposed to be phased out of the mainline fleet and all transferred to Rouge within the next two years. Rumor around YYZ now is that they’ll keep them a bit beyond 2020.

You obviously have not flown United.

Yeah I heard they were all headed to Rouge too. Interesting. I like the 767, so no complaints here. I think the 300ERs are all ex-Canadian Airlines, so delivered much later than ACs 200s. Still they’d be pushing 30+ years since delivery (88-91 IIRC).

I’ve logged over a million miles, I’ve flown them all. I equate Air Canada with the likes of American and United.

That would be correct. All the 763s with AC are 767-375ERs which were ordered by CP Air in 1985 and delivered to Canadian Airlines from ‘88-’91. All the 763s with Rouge are the original Air Canada aircraft designated 767-333ERs and delivered from ‘93-’98. It is a fantastic plane to fly on though.
