Ex Air Canada and for sale, it later went to Air Cardinal (Photo ID: 105548). Still a nice looking aircraft and this was one of several that had a C-check and went out the door in basic livery. They didn't sell well as there were two things going against them: the air-frame (life limited components) and the engines. Air Canada was one of only two airlines that stubbornly refused to upgrade to the Dart 510 with strengthened reduction gearbox. Instead they muddled along with the failure-prone Dart 506 in which the gearbox could break with catastrophic results. Sadly, most ships were scrapped.

Ex Air Cardinal, Air Caravane and Trans Canada Air Lines. With the Air Cardinal logo still on the tail.

A Trans-Canada Airlines/Air Canada Viscount from June 11, 1958 until withdrawn in October 1972. Sold to United aircraft Services April 27, 1974, the aircraft was to go to Zarie Aero Services in November 1978. Ferried to Cartierville, Quebec, but the sale fell through and it was later leased to Air Cardinal August 1980-April 1981 and about a week in June 1982. Sold to Scibe Airlift as 9Q-CTS in January 1986, it went to Flair Airlines in January 1987 only to be damaged in 1988 at Tshikapa Airport, Zaire during landing. The airliner became derelict until broken up there in 1993.

En-route to Zaïre on delivery to new owner Scibe Airlift, but still in full Air Cardinal colours minus titles. It operated for that airline until June 1982 (ex C-FTIB).
