The first Dash 8-400 (Q400) for Horizon Air was photographed inside the Bombardier Dash 8 factory at Downsview Airport, Toronto, Ontario in late 2000 or early 2001 prior to delivery. The aircraft was initially "delivered" to Bombardier Capital as N400QX on January 8, 2001 (which allowed Bombardier to recognize the delivery before its fiscal year end on Jan 31, 2001 ). Bombardier probably leased this Q400 to Horizon Air before financing was finalized. It was officially registered to the Seattle-based airline on Sep. 20, 2001. Kodachrome Slide Scan.
