Just a baby. When N306NY was captured landing at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on March 12, 2017, the Boeing 737-800 had only been with American Airlines for three months, less a day. Painted with the new style AA livery, this airplane seemed to stand out from it’s 288 older 737-800 siblings in the American Airlines fleet. Incredibly, it’s one of nearly 950 total aircraft in the AA fleet.
