Delivered January 6, 1971, but due to budget constraints was put into storage before flying with 433 and 434 Sqns. Transferred to the Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment at CFB Cold Lake in 1989, it would move to 419 (Moose) squadron in 1990 for training. Painted in this special color scheme, it would appear at many airshows across North America before the type was retired in 1995. Mounted at Fulton Field airport, Kamloops, BC named for 419 Squadron's first commander W/C J. "Moose" Fulton.
