The first of two Challengers delivered to Transport Canada in 1981 for VIP Transport duties. Registered C-GKBC with Transport Canada, the task was transferred officially to 412 Squadron of the Air Force along with the aircraft. The early Challenger is pictured in basic Transport Canada colors before getting full Air Force markings. The aircraft was withdrawn and sold to the USA in 2004 as N600WJ.
