This RCAF Airbus A310 operated by 437 Transport Squadron based at CFB Trenton, Ontario was built in 1987 and delivered to Wardair Canada in February 1988 as C-GBWD carrying the name of Canada's Aviation Hall of Fame member C.C. "Carl" Agar who co-founded Okanagan Helicopters in 1947. Wardair took delivery of 12 A310s but ran into financial trouble and was sold to Canadian Airlines in 1989. The Canadian government bought five of the A310s in 1992/93 to replace its aging military Boeing 707 fleet. This aircraft originally wore a grey colour scheme but was repainted in VIP colours in 2013. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
