Photo Comment

Province of Quebec gives a fire bombing demo over a hazy Lake Ontario. Delivered to the Province in July 1971 and traded back to Bombardier in 1996. Used by Bombardier for demonstrations in several countries before being acquired by Conair in June 1996, and then by Buffalo Airways in June 2004 for fire fighting in the Northwest Territories. It left Canada in March 2009 for Turkey, to be operated by the Turkish Aeronautical Association (Türk Hava Kurumu) as TC-TKJ.
