Taken on strength by the RCAF on June 21, 1960, this was the first Canadair built Rolls-Royce Eland powered Cosmopolitan. Converted to a 580 circa 1966, the aircraft specialized in VIP transport. Struck off strength in 1996 and supposedly registered C-FNCI it was stored at Calgary, AB. The aircraft was sold to Las Vegas Aircraft Sales And Leasing as N44A in 2000 but remained stored at Calgary as civil conversion was not cost effective. Ferried to Kelowna, BC circa 2012 with four other Cosmopolitans, the aircraft was later scrapped.

Ex RCAF 11151, CAF 109151, North Canada Corporation C-FNCI. Stored here since July 1994. Registered to Las Vegas Aircraft Sales & Leasing 23 June 2000 but remained stored here.

Parked on the old Northside at Heathrow, by the redundant freight sheds. You can see brand new BOAC 747s on the right.

Former RCAF 109151 was one of five retired RCAF CC-109 aircraft parked on the Kelowna Flightcraft ramp in September 2014. Each aircraft had about 15,000 hours and, while the engines had been removed, they all appeared to be in good condition. I was told that they all had glass cockpits installed just prior to be retired by the RCAF. Due to the difficulty in getting them certified for civilian use and a limited market for CV58/CV5800 freighters, by August 2017, all but C-GLWF/109152 had been scrapped.
