"Mr. Pearson and Mr. Quintal will board the plane on a special flight this morning, departing from Montreal to oversee the jet's retirement at the Mojave Airport in the California desert. Besides the two co-pilots, three of the six flight attendants are also expected to make the journey, which will include a stopover in Tucson, Ariz.
Today's flight will be captained by Jean-Marc Bélanger, a former head of the Air Canada Pilots Association, with a fly-past scheduled after the plane leaves Air Canada's Montreal maintenance hangar.
Plane spotters and aviation buffs have elevated the jet to legendary status, with sightings of the plane - its registration marking, C-GAUN, on the body and FIN number "604" on the tail - considered an A-list highlight. The jet's comings and goings have been a source of conversation for nearly 25 years as avid plane watchers post their prized photos on aviation websites."
A sad day indeed for Canadian aviation buffs!
