Taken on strength by the RCAF on June 21, 1960, this was the first Canadair built Rolls-Royce Eland powered Cosmopolitan. Converted to a 580 circa 1966, the aircraft specialized in VIP transport. Struck off strength in 1996 and supposedly registered C-FNCI it was stored at Calgary, AB. The aircraft was sold to Las Vegas Aircraft Sales And Leasing as N44A in 2000 but remained stored at Calgary as civil conversion was not cost effective. Ferried to Kelowna, BC circa 2012 with four other Cosmopolitans, the aircraft was later scrapped.
