Spanair, flight from Helsinki to Gran Canaria and back with A321.

 

 

From aircraft types probably MD-11, after KLM retires them I don't think we are going to see them in pax service for long. Flew one flight with MD-11 when I was like 5 years old, from Cyprus to Helsinki with Finnair.

 

// And actually I think I could possibly also count Finncomm, it is nowadays owned by Flybe and called Flybe Nordic and has a new livery too.

I flew on Canadian Airlines ... that was in march 2001.. CYWG - CYUL. no clue what airplane that was.. I think an airbus

BEA BAC 1-11 and S61-N

TWA Tristar

Monarch (they're still around) Boeing 720

Sorry no good list of the aircraft except I do remember a few Fokker F50 and 100's. Bottom line is if you are a Canadian airline and you want to stay out of bankruptcy, best keep me from flying on your planes.
