A recent return to Athens prompted me to look out some shots from the golden days of the old airport at Hellinikon, and I was reminded what an excellent variety could be seen there. This classic 737 (with a smoky APU) started out in 12.72 as CF-PWW with Pacific Western and was leased to PA for 5 years from 5.82. After use by various operators including COPA, ended up back in Canada in 11.95 with WestJet as C-GWJG. To US late 2005 and scrapped
