Delivered to Trans Canada Airlines December 18, 1958, this Viscount had to be rebuilt after a training accident in June 1961 where the landing gear collapsed. It's last flight in May 1971, the airliner was stored at Winnipeg, MB. Sold to the National Research Council of Canada in 1973, it never moved from Winnipeg and was broken up there in August 1984.

The first Viscount for Canada's Department of Transport was delivered in March 1955. Leased to Trans-Canada Airlines for the summer, it was used fro crew training to keep up with TCA's own delivery schedule of Viscounts. After return in October, the aircraft was used by the Department of Transport (later called Transport Canada) until 1982. Grounded by a crack in a wing spar cap, it was sold for parts.After usefull parts were removed the hulk was donated to Ottawa's airport manager and used for airport fire training. It was later broken up.

Ex Air Canada and for sale, it later went to Air Cardinal (Photo ID: 105548). Still a nice looking aircraft and this was one of several that had a C-check and went out the door in basic livery. They didn't sell well as there were two things going against them: the air-frame (life limited components) and the engines. Air Canada was one of only two airlines that stubbornly refused to upgrade to the Dart 510 with strengthened reduction gearbox. Instead they muddled along with the failure-prone Dart 506 in which the gearbox could break with catastrophic results. Sadly, most ships were scrapped.

Here just emerged from the paint shop is this ex Air Canada Viscount. It was sold to Wabush Lake Railway who operated it until 1988 when it was exported as 9Q-CTU.

Stored since 1982.

This aircraft was stored at East Midlands Airport for some time before it was sold on to Zaire as 9Q-CPY

Delivered to Trans Canada Airlines in April 1958, Air Canada would retire this Viscount in 1973. Among many of the ex- Air Canada Viscounts, it would be bought up by Broker United Aircraft Services and Beaver Enterprises. One of a few that flew again, it was sold to Zaire Aero Service, got a new registration 9Q-CPJ and a wing spar change in 1978. Withdrawn again in 1984, it was stored at N'dolo, Zaire in March and broken up in September.

No registration visible but is historically confirmed. Ex Air Canada (and Trans Canada Air Lines) CF-TGZ. It had been painted in Air Caravanne colours but was not taken up. Purchased by Groupo Madero S.A. in Nov 1982 and ferried from Montreal Dorval (Canada) to Brownsville. Stored there since. Total of 33585 hours and 32886 cycles.

With Trans Canada Airlines / Air Canada February 1959 until withdrawn in October 1971, this Viscount was sold to United Aircraft of Canada in 1972. Modified to test the company's larger PT6-50 engine mounted on the nose , the aircraft tested other versions of the PT-6 between 1977 - 89. Donated to École nationale d'aérotechnique in Saint-Hubert, QC, it was used as an instructional airframe until loaned to Fondation Aérovision Québec in 1994. Moved by road to the Institut de Protection Contre les Incendies du Québec, it's used for fire and rescue training at the time of uploading. It still carries the faded remains of "Sphinx Air" titles which were applied in 1999 for use in a movie. On the other side it also has fake registration N6225C.

Best seat in the house for an aviation enthusiast. Here on a flight from London to Toronto, the airplane was withdrawn and stored in Winnipeg June 17, 1973. Later sold to Beaver Enterprises and broken up for parts, although the cockpit section was saved.
