The hulk of this Dash 8 lingers on at Medavia's Safi facilities.

First flew as C-GGOM in 1983 and used by De Havilland Canada. Converted to a DHC-8-102 and delivered to Air BC in 1985. Used by a number of Canadian airlines. To Freedom Airlines/Delta Connection as N810LR in 2006. Stored at Calgary in 2008. Modified to a DHC-8-103 for Presidential Airways in 2009. To AAR Airlift in 2010 and used in Afghanistan. Reregistered as N634AR in 2013. Withdrawn from use at Malta in 2019 and used for parts.

Ex-EP Aviation. Probably never flew again after this date; stripped for parts and airframe still at Safi at time of posting.

On a sales tour and it still carries the extended test pitot tube on the wing-tip. Likely trying to interest Perimeter Airlines who at the time were flying the Queen Air, Metroliner and DC-3. A bit out of their price range then but about 25 years later Perimeter did add the type.

Registered to de Havilland Canada 17th Dec 1995 and operated for a variety of airlines over the years, Air BC, Air Atlantic, Alliance Air, Air Canada Jazz. Sold as N810LR 28th Aug 2006

Photo taken during the summer of 1993 when Air Alliance was affected by labour problems and most of the aircraft were stored at the Air Canada maintenance base.

Seemingly in storage at the Medavia facility. Unfortunately the fence makes photographing the full aircraft impossible, so a crop had to be the solution.

During 2010 this DeHavilland was said to be operated by Presidential Airways, but at the same time, the aircraft was assigned since 2009 to a shadow company named EP Aviation LLC, that operates aircraft for the then US Blackwater organization. During late 2010, the aircraft was transferred to AAR Airlift, a company that provides the US government operational aviation solutions. The aircraft is reported as stored since 2013, but no location is known to me.

Early Dash 8 delivered new to Air BC in 1985 and shown here on a one year lease to Air Alliance.

Air BC's first Dash 8 pictured in the original color scheme sporting short lived CP Air Commuter titles. Air Canada bought a majority share in Air BC during 1987 and they became an Air Canada Connector.
