Hi everybody, just loving flying the new 737’s. I was wondering if I could put forward the Sky Service Aviation 737-500 for consideration? Cheers and keep up the amazing work, Nathan.     |

Fantastic livery of this 737-500. The Maple leaf being symbolic to Canada. I have often wondered why Canadian airlines don't use the Beaver on the tails of their aircraft as the Beaver is the symbolic animal of Canada. Wouldn't it be exiting to see a Beaver on the tails.   Is Skyservice Aviation a new airline in Canada??? or is this the one that went belly up a few years ago.  Herman |

The beaver on "splash-down" airplanes (apmhibians and float equipped aircraft) of lesser know 3rd ever operators maybe, but, I think most Canadians, if not the world too, recognize the significance of the Maple Leaf and without any mistake or confusion .... especially in the case of an identity of a major and iconic international operator such as AIR CANADA.
Put the beaver up there and some parts of the world would probably wonder exactly what sort of rodent that was.
There was even a story out of Thailand .... that when QANTAS moved from their "winged Kangaroo" tail logo of the 60's and 70's to the first "non-winged" version of the 80's and 90's some people in Asia thought it was "a rat".

How about this for another real Canadian icon, the Canada Goose displayed in a rather unique way.  Herman |

Pitty that particular variation of CANADIAN livery (the last) never made onto their DC-10-30's I second that Mark, would have been interesting to see how they would have fitted the goose logo over/around the number two engine. "What if" a painter wanted to take this on. Benoit |

"What if" a painter wanted to take this on. Benoit I tried doing it once on the HJG model... it's a real b***h to map unfortunately... too many curves and too many weirdly mapped areas on the DC-10. Someday maybe that I'm feeling masochistic... Right now I have 737s and 146s and Dc-8s and 727s and even a Caravelle in production  |
