They have just sold one of their remaining 727's (C-FCJV) to USA Jet Airlines and I expect them to end B-727-operations
altogether very soon. Sad to see them go, but it's time to move forward with the 757/767-combo.

I really don't think cargo cares what the aircraft looks like.

What are you talking about. That is one of the best liveries in the air.
Agreed "like"

They are a nice looking aircraft, but it needs to go. I don't know what's up with Canadian aviation and its "willingness" to fly old aircraft. Even the 757/767 are getting up there. I'd love to see Air Canada buy new 747-800s or 777F. That would be quite the site. I know it'll never happen, but one can dream.

They say “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” but I absolutely agree - great livery!!

All of the DC-9-15s were RCs. It was an Air Canada internal designation to call it an F when the seats were removed. It got a little confusing if looking at pictures during the era they were used. FINs 761-768, one would have to look at records to see if/when they ever flew as freighters, but ... you are right, the only picture I can find with a -15RC with it's cargo door open is FIN 763 /CF-TOP.
FIN 771, CF-TMN (version two, as the original - TMN, FIN 739, went to Air Jamaica) was always a DC-9-32F and only ever flew for AC as a freighter.
Both of these subfleets were bought at the same time, in the early 1970s to replace the freight uplift when the Vanguards left the fleet.
The picture you cite, with the American registration looks like it was on its way to Air Florida. While having a long career after, Air Florida was the original destination after Air Canada, when it was decided to sell the -15RCs.

I do believe this is temporary as CJT purchased 3x passenger 762s last year, two of which will be converted to cargo in 2019/20 and the other one used for parts.
