tmb westjet coloursWestJet has done it again! Following up their special Disney Magic Plane (which we see at YVR every so often). The airline has now revealed an aircraft that is so cool, it's Frozen. The specially painted Boeing 737-800 will hopefully make a couple runs on the new YVR to Orlando route in 2016.

He began his career as a bush pilot flying in the Arctic before moving into the "right seat" of Boeing's for engine airplanes. Twelve years later, he was promoted to captain and check pilot on the DC-10-30 and flew the international routes to Europe, Asia and Central America.

In NetLetter nr 1326, following previous articles and the final flight of the Avro Vulcan, we had a story about the Avro Vulcan aircraft.


Click heretmb avro vulcan for a BBC News page which has several videos of the "last flight" tour in the U.K.
The last flying Vulcan bomber aircraft has flown over northern England as part of a farewell tour of the country.

The famous Cold War plane, which is based at Doncaster Robin Hood Airport, is due to be grounded this month after engineering backers withdrew support.

In its final series of flypasts, the bomber flew over an aircraft manufacturing firm in Brough, East Yorkshire, and the Greater Manchester factory where it was built.
