Photo Comment

When Air Atlantic began operations in 1986, the airline bought two DHC-7s (cn 6 and 7) and leased this one while awaiting delivery of new DHC-8s. Formerly Canadian Air Force 132002, C-GILE was returned to De Havilland Canada in August 1987. Last with Trans Capital Airlines as C-FWYU, the aircraft was withdrawn and stored at Toronto - Billy Bishop City airport in 2017. Used for parts, the registration was cancelled in 2024.
