This plane comes from one of my favorite airlines, the corporate giant called Canadian Pacific, and its subsidiaries (hotels, telecommunications, logging, mining, oil refining, shipping, rail transportation, trucks, and of course, the airline). This aircraft was later purchased by Canadian Airlines, then finally First Air, which is another creation I've built.

Development:

This project has been one I've been secretly working on for at least three months. The major difference between my combi fleet is that this is a full passenger configuration, typical of a 737-200.

One of the biggest challenges I faced was adding the red stripe without blocking the windows. It took me a day and a half to figure it out with tons of small, individual pieces. Another challenge was tuning flight performance, allowing it to cruise at at least 32,000 ft and maintain an airspeed of around 400+ MPH. I also played with the acceleration; this was a royal pain, especially on C-FNVK, but I finally got it right.

C-GNDC, sporting the Canadian North livery, was recently bought from CP Air. I could not find any reliable photos of C-GNDC under CP Air. A gravel kit and combi modifications were installed when Canadian North acquired the plane from its parent company, Canadian. CP Air did not operate aircraft with these modifications.

Lore:

CP Air took delivery of its first 737-200 CF-CPB on October 22, 1968. This aircraft was the first to wear the airline's orange livery and the first 737 to enter revenue service in Canada. Through the years CP Air acquired an additional 23 737-200s of various types plus 3 leased aircraft. The 737s were used on routes throughout Canada, the US, Mexico and the Caribbean.

CP Air also had a business commuter airline within the airline called Attache which had 2 leased 737-300's painted in a white and gray livery. It flew between Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and Halifax. One other CP 737 had a white livery, a Britannia Airways 737-200 that CP Air leased for a few short months.

Canadian Pacific, the corporate giant, was the world's largest transportation network. An individual could travel across the world via air, land, and sea on Canadian Pacific, never stepping off Canadian Pacific. It is a company forgotten by most of the world, even in Canada. The company, originally a railway that united Canada, dubbed the Confederation of 1867, soon expanded to include some of the greatest and most luxurious hotels in the world. In the '20s and '30s, the company exploded with global shipping. After the war, a band of bush pilots organized to create an airline that eventually became CP Air, which dominated foreign and domestic travel from Canada.

A few of Canadian Pacific's global locations through its trains, planes, and ocean liners note that in the '50s, CP Air only served a handful of locations. Over the years, CP Air expanded to hundreds of destinations Nationally And internationally.

The airline, at its peak, was the second largest in Canada, just a few aircraft behind the federal airline "Air Canada."

Legacy & Origins

Just like in its early days, Canadian Pacific eventually returned to rail transportation. Today, Canadian Pacific is the only railroad to connect Mexico, the USA, and Canada. The Canadian Pacific Railway Company united Canada in the 1860s, originally built as a "little spite project" against a US Congressman who claimed "Canada would come under the circumference of the USA." In response, the government ordered the construction of the Trans-Canada railway system, which stopped any hopes for American expansion into Canada. For over 150 years, Canadian Pacific was a household name across the globe.
