The first Dash 8-400 (Q400) for Horizon Air was photographed inside the Bombardier Dash 8 factory at Downsview Airport, Toronto, Ontario in late 2000 or early 2001 prior to delivery. The aircraft was initially "delivered" to Bombardier Capital as N400QX on January 8, 2001 (which allowed Bombardier to recognize the delivery before its fiscal year end on Jan 31, 2001 ). Bombardier probably leased this Q400 to Horizon Air before financing was finalized. It was officially registered to the Seattle-based airline on Sep. 20, 2001. Kodachrome Slide Scan.

The prototype Bombardier Dash 8-400 is seen landing on runway 15 at Downsview Airport, Toronto. The aircraft made its first flight on January 31, 1998 (the end of the Bombardier fiscal year) wearing the registration C-FJJA which is a tribute to de Havilland Canada flight test Jackson "Jock" Aitken who died suddenly a few months earlier. The aircraft first flew in green primer paint and then blue and white Q400 markings until receiving this colour scheme. The aircraft was based at the Bombardier Flight Test Center in Wichita until Bombardier sold DHC in June 2019 and C-FJJA returned to Canada.
