A very rare picture on a very rare bird. Provided you are willing to expensively buy through auctions, you can have some luck. Be prepared to bid by the tens. I suggest you to visit http://www.airlinehobby.com on a regular basis. To increase your odds, visit the website daily ...

I have never seen any 721 listed for PWA in any of the aircraft census listings online...
As far as I know... PWA operated the 707-100, 737-200, 737-300 (leased briefly), and the 767-200 for a short while (these two were sold to AC).
Cheers.Comment

They did operate a 727-100, thers a article in Airways about a guy who took the nose section and first class of one and uses it as a simulator, its got everything, seats, galley, door, fully functional PA system and fully functional pax stuff! its awsome!-KevinComment

Are you talking about this aircraft?
C-GAPW... was torn down and the cockpit was salvaged and turned into a flight simulator. It was an ex-CP 737-275/Adv, originally delivered to PWA in 1974.Comment

None of the 727 census listings show any 727s ever being registered to PWA. CP Air flew 6 727s, 4-100s and 2-200s during the 70s and early 80s, but all were removed from the fleet well before the CP merger in 1987.
Would be interesting to see what exactly is in that article you have mentioned, but as far as I know, PWA never flew the 727 at all.Comment

Woah, I thought i saw TWAOriginally posted by A332

Ahhh... okay then that makes sense if we're talking TWA...
CP Air and Pacific Western never shared liveries, and the 721/722 of CP departed the fleet long before these two married and adopted Wardair..

Interesting... that info never showed up in any of the searches I had done... but I guess that's the one...
C-FPXD - 727-171C now flying with First Air would be the aircraft.Comment

Pwa 727-100
PWA used the a/c on scheduled flights up north from YEG.
I remember riding on from YEG to YZF sometime in 1977-1978, I believe it was a combi becauce we boarded the a/c from the back.
Latter on the a/c ended up with WESTBOURN of Calgary prior to going to the ECHO Bay mining company.

I'm having the same trouble locating Transair photos out of YWG. Dad flew for Transair from 68 until Transair was absorbed by PWA in 79. Try contacting Transport Canada directly and see if they have anything. Good luck!
Who's on first?..........Comment
