The first time I ever boarded this aircraft was back on the morning of April 20, 1997 at Toronto Pearson International Airport...it was bound for Orlando International Airport as part of our first-ever trip to Florida! Ten days later, we went on this same aircraft again at Toronto Pearson, but it was bound for Halifax after spending ten days in Florida!
No. Canadian Airlines was based at Calgary International Airport (YYC), Alberta. Pacific Western Airlines, one of its predecessors, moved to YYC from YVR after the Province of Alberta bought the controlling interest in the company in 1974 from its founder, Russ Baker.
This is a special treat as I ahve never come across CA A320 let alone one in the old colors..Great stuff!
