Comments
Nice photograph and a great paint job.
Why does does the fuselage bear the words, "Government of Canada" when the aircraft is part of the fleet of the Royal Canadian Air Force? We don't need the flag both fore and aft, and the tiny red maple leaves on the winglets look silly but overall the new livery looks smart and fresh, albeit a little too much a reflection of the Tory party's colours and "branding". We would do well to remember that Canada's official colours, as proclaimed by King George V in the 1920s, are red and white.
I would have strongly disagree with the person who said it looks too much like the colours of a political party. It does share the same colour scheme but these are the colours of the Royal Canadian Air Force. If you look at the colours of the old Canadian Air Forces' Boeing 707, it has the red, white and blue. The new colours on this CC-150 is a more modern, more fresh take on the old Boeing 707.
