Here is a scanned Kodachrome slide of the Boeing 747-212B, C-FXCE,  the only aircraft flown by Fortunair Canada.

Fortunair Canada was a Canadian charter airline which began operations in June 1993, created by former Nationair Director, M. Joseph Sandoux, Founder and CEO, using a leased Boeing 747-200, built in 1977 for original operator Singapore Airlines, before being acquired by Pan Am in 1984.

Fortunair Canada flew every Thursday starting on June  24, 1993 from Toronto Canada to London and Glasgow, every Friday from Montreal to Paris and every Saturday from Montreal to Rome, with 485 passenger seats (25 first class and 460 economy).

It was photographed at Mirabel on July 10, 1994 by Pierre Gillard.
