To follow up on my earlier F27 post, below, is a (colorful) selection of 20 (JF) F-27 liveries from airlines around the world...(along with a bit of notes on each). You only have to check the "Operators" list on the F27's Wiki, to appreciate how widespread, its deployment was, in every corner of the world...from Australia to Somalia! For those, who had recollected some memories, here, of having been (sometimes in the past) on board this aircraft, for an actual flight, I've included a couple of liveries, that I could find, e.g. for Air UK and Boanaza. Regarding USAir, I noticed, Piedmont's F27s, after acquisition, might have gone to USAir (see below), but, I could not find an USAir (JF) F27.

Norcanair, in Saskatchewan, that I'd never heard of, also piqued my curiosity, but, I could not find a (JF) F27 in that livery. Instead, please find, here a bit of interesting information about Norcanair's DHC-2 Beaver (CF-GHB) - sorry no picture, here, but, Milviz's Beaver has this livery-repaint, it looks like (if you're interested; look here in this Library itself [AVSIM Reviews->Aircraft->REVIEW: MilViz DHC-2 Beaver Bush Plane]: The DHC-2 prototype, construction number 1, was test flown in 1947 and given the registration CF-FHB. CF-FHB worked for 32 years (quite amazing!) in the coastal and northern regions of Canada with operators such as Central B.C., Pacific Western etc. After its useful life, CF-FHB was handed over to the Canada Aviation Museum in Ottawa (good for her!), in 1980, and wears the colors of its final operator, Norcanair of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.

Anyway, back to F27: all (JF-F27) pictures, below, are taken at KSEA, on the ground. Hope you enjoy this diverse collection! Thanks for viewing! Good weekend, ahead!

Notes:

1. Aer Lingus - Major first (EU) Operator of F27 (EI-AKA, shown, was the the 2nd F27 unit, produced)
2. Air West - Orange and Red livery (instead of Pink and Red of my earlier post)
3. Bonanza - One of the 3 airlines that formed Air West (initially based in Las Vegas, NV)
4. Pacific - Another of the 3 airlines that formed Air West (initially based in San Francisco, CA, but I could not find West Coast Airlines livery, I was interested in, that had started it all, for F27, in the U.S., even ahead of Aer Lingus)
5. Air New Zealand - (ZK-BXG, shown, is preserved in Christchurch, NZ)
6. Piedmont - One of the earliest U.S. operators of F27 (later acquired by USAir)
7. Air Queensland - Cairns based airline (formerly Bush Pilots Airways, which was founded by Australian Bush pilot, Sir Robert Norman, to serve the remote Aboriginal communities - the equivalent of the Alaskan and Canadian Bush Pilots, so-to-speak, (if you wish, please refer back to my post on the "Story of bush-planes..."))
8. Air UK - Final livery (the better-known Air UK livery was shown on Ed's (very nice) video, and is also the default (flight) livery of JF, but not shown below)
9. BEA Cargo - 70s livery (BEA merged with BOAC to form British Airways (BA) on March 31, 1974)
10. Ansett Australia - (quite a long distance SALE from Amsterdam to Australia e.g. one F27 delivery took 47 hrs 49 mins to get there, and the route was:  Schiphol, Rome, Athens, Beirut, Damascus, Bahrain, Karachi, Delhi, Calcutta, Bangkok, Singapore, Jakarta, Denpasar, Darwin and Alice Springs. Might be a good Delivery Flight exercise in the SIM, with this Ansett F27, along with some add-on scenery for the (en-route) airports, if available)
11. ANA - The Japanese Airline had operated F27s between 1961-1973.
12. EastWest - Contemporary of Ansett (another of the earliest (Australian) operators of F27s)
13. FedEx - FedEx Express (the last major Cargo operator of the F27 in U.S.)
14. Manx - The Isle of Man based airline (with the "3-legged-logo") was a predominant prop/turboprop operator.
15. Northwest - NWA's regional service provider, Northwest Airlink, had operated F27s.
16. Pacific Alaska - The Alaska based airline had operated one F27 in (1970-1980).
17. Sabena - The (Brussels based) national airline of Belgium had operated F27s in years 1968+.
18. United Express - F27s were operated by Air Wisconsin (look for this imprint in the repaint) via a code share agreement with United Airlines.
19. Asialink - An Indonesian (Cargo) airline (currently out-of-business)
20. Hughes Airwest- This is an interesting ("flying banana") livery! After Howard Hughes bought Air West, subject of my earlier post, the airline, and the acquired aircraft (including this F-27), went through a massive livery change, transforming the airline’s colors from tan and red (see e.g. Bonanza/Pacific) to blue and yellow. Nice to be the "Boss" in charge, so, you can pick the colors of your aircraft the way you want it...🙂...!

Thanks for the note!! Yes, Norcanair, surely operated F27s, it's listed prominently in the list of Canadian operators ..(which, coincidentally, and interestingly, also says those planes might have come to Norcanair from Hughes Airwest, of which the last image above is an example...) ...

.Anyway, it's just that, I would've loved to display a SIM image of it, here, in my JF model...🙂.....but, I looked, and could not locate a JF repaint/livery, for it,....(though, that Milviz DHC-2 Beaver, does look like a great bush-plane to have too...)
