In the late 60s and early 70s, Canada's major regional airlines acquired jets. The 737 was the main choice (Quebecair started with BAC-111s before getting 737s). All would push their regional boundaries and be seen in Toronto in the following years. Pictured is an Eastern Provincial Airways 737 in the first color scheme.

This 1948 built Luscombe 8F has an interesting history. In 1953, when it was US owned as N18388, the owner flew it all the way from California to Berlin and back, via Greenland and Iceland, using a school atlas for navigation. This was the subject of an article in Flying magazine at the time which the current owner kindly let me see.

With a first flight date of May 14, 1969, this was to be the second 737 for PLUNA Líneas Aéreas Uruguayas S A. The order was not taken up though, and it became the third 737 for Eastern Provincial, delivered July 17, 1970. Pictured in the airline's final color scheme before amalgamation with CP Air, the aircraft would be sold to AIG Leasing in 1987 and placed with Brathens SAFE registered N197AL. Leased to Viscount Air Services in 1992 and Cambodia International Airlines in 1993, it was returned in 1997 and broken up at Mojave, CA in 1998.
