September 12, 2025Sep 12 This was an appealing (ie, challenging!) livery to repaint for the FSS B727-200 PAX...a classic style with a partial metal fuselage. Iberia was the largest operator of B727-200 aircraft in Europe, with a total of 48 in their fleet. The aircraft depicted here, EC-CFB, was delivered on January 22, 1974 and served the airline (single operator) for 26 years before finally being retired in June 2000. Hope you enjoy the photos!
September 12, 2025Sep 12 Beautiful job! Flew on one of these...Barcelona to Seville...in '98 (but with the newer livery, of course).

Thank you for the comment John! Cool that you actually flew an Iberia B727 back in the day... ...here's a real photo of EC-CFB from July 1999...about a year from retirement...

September 13, 2025Sep 13 Author Really enjoying the FSS B727...a few snaps on approach to Palma de Mallorca...
September 14, 2025Sep 14 Great paintjob on this wonderful IB livery...like the Globe on the Tail...and of course the full-length bold and red cheatline...🙂... 26 years...🙂...they don't make them like that anymore ...noisy, heavy, but true diehard stalwarts of our aviation legacy...

Thanks for the feedback, P7878! TBH, I wasn't aware of this livery until I started searching airliners.net...I thought this one looked really good...and I need to challenge myself to not always paint Canadian liveries! 🙂 I, too, liked the Globe logo on the tail...unfortunately, couldn't find one online...created this one from scratch based on tail photos. In full disclosure...the clincher for me to paint this one came when I saw the name of the aircraft...I've always enjoyed a fine Spanish Red! 🙂 Thanks again for the comment!

Yes, you can mix up the Canadian liveries with others a bit ...🙂..., but do keep painting the classic Canadian colors once in a while...always good to see classic repaints from someone who is passionate about what one paints...especially these being the days of mass production...by the faster and nimbler youngsters...🙂... Regarding Spanish Red...🙂...aka...RIOJA...just yesterday, coincidentally, I picked up another Spanish Red but not Rioja. It said, "Sustainably Sourced"... (trying to cut down, but will look for the RIOJA next time...🙂...) ... Cheers...!

The "Sustainably Sourced" comment was a new one on me...alcohol has been documented all the way back to 6000 BC... 🙂 Thanks for the comment!

Apparently, the application of the phrase is similar: Sustainably sourced salmon comes from fisheries or farms that minimize environmental impact and ensure healthy fish populations ... Sustainably sourced wine is produced using farming and winemaking practices that protect the environment, ensure social responsibility, and maintain economic viability ... However way, they manage to do it...🙂... Cheers...!
