This former CityJet Avro RJ85 arrived at Abbotsford Airport, BC on February 6, 2020 from Regina, Saskatchewan and was cannibalized for parts by Conair to support its RJ85 air tanker program before apparently being donated to the University of the Fraser Valley's aviation maintenance program at Abbotsford Airport. Unfortunately, the aircraft maintenance program was suspended during Covid-19 and has not been revised. This RJ85 was originally operated by Mesaba/Northwest Airlink as N527XJ before acquired by CityJet in January 2007.

Agusta brought this new A109C, N1WD, to Toronto in August 1990 to show it to prospective customers. Demo flights were conducted from Toronto Island Airport (CYTZ) where it was photographed flying past the CN Tower. The helicopter was purchased by Leffler Transportation Company. Crashed in eastern Pennsylvania on at 19:05 local time on Jan. 18, 1995 on a flight from Williamsport, PA (IPT) to a company heliport in Richland, PA (PS96) killing the pilot and two employees. Flew IFR to Harrisburg, then VFR when it entered low clouds. Probable cause: spatial disorientation, darkness and poor weather.
