History:

        The Airbus A320 represents a new class of short/medium-range twin
jet airliners. Advanced design techniques, materials and avionics were used
to develop this aircraft. It was first flown in February 1987. The A319 is a
shortened version while the A321 is a stretched version. Because of the
fly-by-wire system, there's no need for the control columns, therefore, they
are replaced by side stick controllers.
        Air Canada purchased 34 A320s in 1990. They are used to serve Air
Canada's domestic, U.S. and high-density commuter markets. 35 A319s are also
on firm order for replacing Air Canada's fleet of DC-9-32s.

Notes:

        This is my third try at repainting an aircraft in FSFS, I hope it is
better than my second one.

Credits:

        I have to thank Peter Herrmann who created this wonderful Airbus
A320 Flight Model and to Eric Mitchell who supplied me with the PCX file
of the tail of the airplane.
