Sitting pretty before disassembly begins for transport to Lethbridge, Alberta. TAV delivered to Time Air of Lethbridge in 1991 and will eventually be repainted into the "Silver Bullet" 25th anniversary livery which it was delivered in. What an amazing experience this was to be a part of the Time Air Historical Society and their efforts to save these aircraft. If you wish to donate, donations can be made out to the society via e-transfer to "timeairhs@gmail.com". These donations will help us in our efforts to save more Canadian aviation history, as well as the full restoration of C-FTAV!

Transair leased (and later bought) this F-28 from Fairchild Hiller in October 1972. Pacific Western Airline bought financially troubled Transair in 1977. After merging the two airlines in 1979, the F-28 was sold to Air Niuginii as P2-ANE. In service in the South Pacific until withdrawn in April 2004, the aircraft was scrapped by September.

This 1976 F-28 was first delivered to Garuda Indonesia on July 12th. Returned to Fokker, the aircraft was placed with Piedmont Airlines in 1985. Time Air bought it in January 1991 and it remained through name changes to Canadian Regional and Air Canada Regional until Air Canada Jazz retired it in August 2002 with the F-28 fleet. C-FTAV was stored in Saskatoon, SK where it remains today.

Time Air was founded in Lethbridge, AB in 1966 by Walter "Stub" Ross. Purchasing this F-28 in January 1991, Time Air polished it up for their Silver anniversary and christened the aircraft after the airline's former CEO.

Soon to be history in Toronto when photographed. Transair's Ontario routes were transferred to Nordair in the following months and the airline merged into Pacific Western by the end of the year.
