This was the first prototype BD-10. The BD-10 was designed for supersonic flight, but never exceeded the speed of sound. Five were built, with three lost in fatal crashes. It was designed to be sold as a homebuilt kit, and three were completed as such. N2BD still exists, and is owned by Fuel Fresh, Inc. of Phoenix, Az. It is registered as N98MJ, but is not currently airworthy.

The shot was taken in July 1994, in Sept-Îles, Quebec. At Sept-Îles / Lac des Rapides Water Aerodrome, CSM8, Alexandair's base.

The C-54E was bought by Buffalo Airways the following year, and is still current with them at Yellowknife, North West Territories, where I photographed it again years later.
