why PEK? UA just recently opened up a direct CTU to SFO route - 4 or 5 days/week - Chengdu is a great point to point destination and has just as good domestic china connections as Beijing?
YYC - CTU would be a perfect option

Yes, CTU is doing well... but UA already has an extensive Asian network from SFO. CTU is not the #2 destination to Asia you serve when your only existing flight is a single 763 to NRT. More importantly, we have heard directly from AC that they are seeking a viable PEK slot for YYC .
Also, with the amount of Chinese purchases of Canadian companies, it would make more sense for PEK, since most of those purchases are made with ties to Chinese Goverment.

If one was to bring that back to airworthy condition, how legal would it be to fly? Also could one learn to fly such an aircraft without a military background?
