C-GDUZ Life in Photos

Ken Pickford noted that the aircraft (C-GDUZ - fin #646) in our 'Featured Video' section in NetLetter # 1517 was one of two aircraft originally delivered to Asiana Airlines in 1991.

They were acquired by Canadian Airlines late in 1991 and, for around six weeks, flew in Asiana livery with the 'Canadi>n' logo on the fuselage (until painted in the 'Proud Wings" livery). They transitioned to Air Canada in 2001 and then to the Rouge brand in 2017.

C-GBZR (fin #645) was returned to the lessor, AerCap, in 2022. However, 31 year-old C-GDUZ (fin #646) has remained with Air Canada in cargo configuration.

Ken did some internet searching to find photos of C-GDUZ in its various liveries and shared the links with us. I thought that it would be interesting to share this aircraft's known liveries, in chronological order, with our readers.
