This is the last Tracker to leave the production line at Toronto Downsview Airport for the Royal Canadian Navy, #99. It wore the registration mark "1600" when in the Navy. Was briefly moved to the civilian register as C-FUDQ from April 1996 until cancelled in May 1998, but continued to display 1600 for historical/display purposes. For a long time, this aircraft was displayed in the Canadian Air & Space museum at the Toronto Downsview airport, but when it closed in 2011, the aircraft was stored in a variety of places before finding their new forever home on display at the Edenvale Aerodrome.
