DC-9-32s of Air Canada

[rallymodeller]

Air Canada was a pretty major DC-9-30 operator, using them from the 60s to the early 2000s, and they appeared in most of the Air Canada schemes:

I have very fond memories of ACA DC-9s, having flown in them quite often in the 70s and 80s. I think I still have a safety card around my stash somewhere.

One of our painters has aslready expressed an interest in these .... so then .... I guess it'll just be a matter of time and convenience before we see something in previews.

I believe both DC9-10 and DC9-30 apply to most of these liveries !
