PSA phased out the Electra in 1969 but the type made a comeback in their very seventies colours in 1975 to serve Lake Tahoe, which did not allow full-jet airliners. Among the four airframes acquired was N171PS, which had been PSA's first Electra in 1959. By mid-1978 this aircraft was in the revised orange-red colour scheme as PSA had found that the pink did not weather well. The L-188 was finally retired in 1979. Photo from: SFO Museum

This third Dash 7 was used by the manufacturer for testing and certification flying from May 1977 to May 1978 as C-GQIW-X before delivery to Spantax as EC-DCB. Returned to DHC in May 1981, the aircraft was leased by Air BC in July 1981 as they rapidly expanded their IFR operations. It was returned to De Havilland in April 1989 as the airline was adding the BAe-146 to the fleet. Stored at Las Vegas, it was damaged in a hangar fire in March 1990. The aircraft was later parted out and scrapped.
