I'll never forget my two flights on Canadian 737-200. Mexico City - Toronto (stopover in Monterrey for refueling), and back. This happened back in 1998. Those were the days folks!
Great shots of Vancouver. Loved flying on Canadian. My first flight with them was on a 737-200 and my last was a 767-300. I still have a bunch of memorabilia from them.
The first time I flew in a Canadian Airlines Boeing 737-200 was back on April 19, 1997 at the Halifax International Airport...it was bound for Toronto Pearson International Airport, and that was part of our ten-day trip to Central Florida and the Tampa Bay area! I flew in this aircraft again just ten days later at the Tampa International Airport, bound for Toronto Pearson!
It was a beautiful airline company that was never given the chance to fully succeed because of the rules at the time. Air Canada was allowed to dictate what cities and routes they wanted, and the hell with any other airline that stood in its way. Air Canada was allowed to quash any competition and put them out of business, which exactly happened to Canadian Airlines. New rules now prevents that sort of thing happening again, or airlines like WestJet, and Porter probably would be out of business by now.
