FORTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, in August of 1979, I made a trip up to British Columbia and Alberta to chase and photograph trains.
When it was time for me to return to the U.S., I rode a westbound CPR coal train on August 08 from Revelstoke to Kamloops, where, the following day, I caught C-FPWM, a 737-214 of the now-fallen-flag Pacific Western Airlines to Vancouver, connecting to a couple of 727'S of the now-fallen-flag Western Airlines to get me back to Las Vegas, NV, which is where I was living at the time.
C-FPWM is now 56 years old if it hasn't been scrapped. It's had several registration numbers but its manufacturers serial number is 19921. The photo was taken at Kamloops, B.C. on AUG 09, 1979. Since this photo was taken, the plane went on to fly for Bahamas Air, Pan Am, SAHSA and GPA. Right after it was out of the factory it flew for PSA and had some interior wallpaper with California scenes.
The last times I posted photos of airplanes were on DEC 03, 2022, my 179th installment, of a CP Air 727 at Vancouver, B.C. and on MAR 06, 2022, my third installment, of an Ozark Airlines DC-9 at the now-razed Stapleton Airport.
