Thanks Darren A couple Air Novas C-GRNT circa 1991 146-200 "Big Nova"... pretty much the standard pre-green tail QK 142 C-GRNZ circa 1990 146-200 as delivered with black nose, white engines and smaller titles: Never did these for some reason... 1 more variation to come C-GRNU 1991ish with some detail differences from C-GRNT.

And something new... a DC-8-33, N8184A, Ranger Air Cargo circa 1975 One of 3 operated by the airline between 75 and 77. Ex Delta (obviously), previously Pan Am N818PA. No cargo door fitted ever as far as i can tell (or to either of it's sisters with similar pedigree). Leased to Ghana Airways/Ghana Air Tours in 1976, returned to Ranger then to Intercontinental Airlines who scrapped it in late 77. Not much info on Ranger, but it may of been a Horse carrier... there were a few of these out of MIA in the mid 70s.... didn't need cargo doors, just took out the seats and put in tie bars and anti slip flooring. This plane flew passengers in Ghana however so it may of been kept in Passenger config? Strange little airline this one

I've always liked that particular livery style on the Quadra-puffs As for the DC-8 .... "JEEZE" that one's about as rare as "a rat with a gold tooth" A bloodstock specialist ! Nothing like a bit of FS "horse play" aye Mark C AKL/NZ

A nice cool introduction from the Canadian north polar region aye I "knew it" .... or perhap I "NU" .... or rather "INUIT" .... that this "new/NU" one (with WL's too) one would eventually pop up. It's a nice livery Mark AKL/NZ

Glad you both like her...
2 more planned: C-GZCN or C-FGCN with cargo door (combi) no brow no winglets and C-FKCN or C-GCNK no brow no winglets.
Might do C-GPNL in the Celebrity Cruises colors as well (no brow no winglets)
Canadian North has alot of variety with Eyebrow windows... they even have -200Cs with and without.
Just gonna warn everyone... black stripe on the wings looks fine flaps up, but flaps down it's off... I've been playing with it alot and it just is what it is I'm afraid.

I know some Canadian FS enthusiasts whom will certainly celebrate the arrival of these .... in both the definitive "CANADIAN NORTH" and CELEBRITY" identities .... and "YES" I like that livery myself too Mark C AKL/NZ
