Air Columbus 737 taking off from Faro, Portugal.

The 1990s were a glorious time when airlines

(even the smaller ones like Air Columbus)

weren't scared to have a little colour on their paint schemes.

These days, it seems most airlines are so cheap,

there's a competition to see who can be the most white.

I just read on Wikipedia that Air Columbus flew 727s

to my hometown of Montreal from the Azores.
