Caged Tiger at Malton during 1941 - this is our oldest photo so far from Toronto's future airport. Assigned to No 1 Elementary Flying Training School in February, 4398 had an accident on 23 June so the photo was probably taken before that date - by October it was with the Test and Development Establishment at Rockcliffe. We have another photo of this airframe from there. Struck off charge and put into storage in January 1945. Photo from: Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada

Air Canada's first six DC-9s were DC-9-14s. They were traded back to Douglas when the airline began deliveries of larger DC-9-32s in 1967. Finding a need for the smaller version, Air Canada bought seven DC-9-15Fs ( CF-TON, TOO, TOP, TOQ, TOR, TOS and TOT) from Continental Airlines in 1972. Later registrations for CF-TOT with many operators were N72AF, I-TIAR, N415AM, N917R, N5373G and N785TW. The freighter is current at the time of uploading with Ameristar Air Cargo.

Coming to Canada in 1963, the registration for this Beagle Airedale was cancelled in 1991.
