Photo Comment

Part of Trans-Canada Air Lines / Air Canada's fifty-two strong Viscount fleet, CF-TIE was in service March 1959 - April 1973. Stored at Winnipeg, it was among a group acquired by Beaver Enterprises Ltd until sold to two members of the Western Canada Aviation Museum in 1975 for eventual display. Unfortunately, while awaiting a larger museum facility, a fire started by vandals burned the aircraft's interior in April 1980. Another Viscount was acquired (CF-THS) and parts were stripped from TIE to repair THS or sold. The hulk was scrapped in 1989.
