After Air Canada purchased 85% of Air BC in 1987, the airline solidified it's presence as a major regional carrier with additional DHC-8s and later BAe-146s. This Dash 8 was delivered in August 1986 but leased back to DHC for short demonstrations to Air Ontario, Henson Airlines and Metro Express Airlines. Back with Air BC March 1987, it remained in the fleet (Air BC / Air Canada Regional / Air Canada Jazz) until retired in 2016. The aircraft was stored at North Bay, ON and scrapped in the summer of 2016. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
