The days are numbered for this nearly 30 year old aircraft. C-FOCA has been in the air since 1990 and with Air Canada since 2001. The airline plans to phase out their Boeing 767-300ER airliners in 2019. We photographed this B763 on June 29, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
