Photo Comment

Eureka Aero had just changed it's name to Air Pacific as it took delivery of two Dash 7s. This new one was delivered on May 2, 1979 and they bought Wardair's C-GXVF in October 1979. Merging with Gem State Airlines in 1980, they formed Golden Gate Airlines. Acquiring Swift Aire later in January 1981, the airline stopped operations in August. This Dash 7 flew on with several US Commuter airlines (re-registered N702AC in 1988), before going to Venezuela with LTA Linea Turistica Aereotuy as YV-639C in 1996. It was withdrawn and stored at Caracas in May 2008 and later scrapped.
