When Pratt & Whitney Canada retired its Boeing 720-023B, C-FETB (for Engine Test Bed) in 2012, they donated it to the Canada Air and Space Museum in Ottawa which arranged for it to be displayed at the National Air Force Museum of Canada at CFB Trenton, Ontario. The aircraft was acquired from MEA in Lebanon and first registered in Canada in January 1986 when work began to modify the aircraft to be a flying test bed for P&WC's turboprop and turbofan engines. The PW150 for the DHC-8-400 was mounted in the nose and turbofans on a side pylon. It's see arriving from St-Hubert on its last flight.
