I watch about this infamous "Gimli Glider" many times in Nat Geo channel Air Crash Investigations episode. Many says it's the miracle landing before Sully, which also safe landed. The Air Canada case in my opinion is pretty similar with Sully's case, both lost both engines and both glide down and landed safely, one on Gimli Airstrip and one on Hudson river, but Air Canada flight 143 started on much higher altitude (41,000 feet) which give the crew more time to think. The key part is the sideslip manuver by pilot Captain Pearson, to slow down the plane before landing. The papermodel is in 1:100 scale.

First of all, I wish you a good and happy new year, may this year 2017 will bring better life, goodness and peace. This year is by the way the 9th year for Paper Replika. I start this year by releasing Airbus A380 with this beautiful new livery, which is Thai Airways to add to the A380 Paper Replika collection. I go back to the original scale, the scale that the A380 papercraft was first released which is 1:155 scale, because it's easier to build in bigger size. The wingspan will be 50 cm in length. This Thailand airliner has 6 of A380-800 planes in the fleet and was first operational in summer 2012.

New type of aircraft have been added to Airliner category. There were many request for making Boeing 737 series paper model template. Here it is, a B-737-900 the newest type of B-737 family, it has distinctive high winglets on the end of both wings. In this first release I use a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines livery, the new one (2015). Boeing 737 is a short to medium range small body commercial airplane, the 900 series can have 220 seats on maximum capacity. With this template, it is easy if I want to modify it into older series like 300 or 800. I plan to release the blank template after this, with added rules if you want to publish your own custom livery on Paper Replika website. The scale is 1 :100, complete model will have about 37 cm or 14.5 inches wingspan.
