One of only two Metro aircraft ever delivered new to Perimeter. This happened in 1978 and it was discovered to not be an economically viable proposition at that time. Consequently they were both leased to Sun Aire Lines of California. By the photo date the situation had changed and the two leasers returned to join a growing fleet of used Metros bought on the cheap. It is still registered in 2022, but possibly out of service since last seen at CYYJ in 2018 due to the 50,000 hour airframe life limit.
