One of CP Air's older 737s, delivered March 24, 1969, that made it to the merger that formed Canadian Airlines. It was sold to AIG Leasing in May 1988 and placed with Braathens SAFE. The airliner would eventually return to Canada in 1998 when WestJet put it in service as C-FGWJ. It was retired from flying in October 2002 and used as a ground trainer.

Delivered in 1969 as CF-CPV to CP-Air this 737 flew also in France but ended up back in Canada again to fly for WestJet from 1998 until it was withdrawn from use in September 2002. C-FGWJ's registration, titles and logo were removed as wel as its engines which were replaced by two fake "engines". It has since been used as, like the titles say, a "Ground Procedures Trainer" at Calgary International.

Inspiring livery on this Continent Air Paris plane...

CP Air tried an all executive class service with this 737, but it was short lived as the configuration tied the aircraft up and kept it from doing other flying.
