You'll never guess who I was hoping to fly for growing up. I believe all three are redbull cans now.

The top airplane is more fun anyways. I always loved the goose paint scheme they had.

I skipped school when they debuted that scheme (I was in 11th grade I think). There were 3-4 reporters at the airport, and I asked to go with them down to gate area but they wouldn't let me. Thankfully, I discovered women and my dorkiness towards aircraft has subsided. Who am I trying to fool, no it hasn't.

They were still in bankruptcy at the time, then were bought by Air Canada shortly after. Sadly that livery didn't see much activity.
 
Oooh I like that HUD. What are you flying that has a IAS of 212 and a GS of only 220?

Yeah it's a Dash 8 Q200 series. The company figured it was cheaper to leave them in so we still use them, and they are required during the checkrides, or at least the initial I believe. It's fun to use but I've only been in a couple of situations where I could have used CAT II or III minimums. Therefore they don't pay for the extra training required for the HUD.
