On 19 September 2005, during the initial phase of the take-off, the aircraft ran off the runway at Rotterdam and groundlooped, damaging the nose gear, left undercarriage, the left engine and prop, and the left wingtip. Seen here stored with both engines and a fin panel missing, and some of the accident damage is still apparent (wingtip and buckling near the nose gear). Still in full Dynamic Airlines colours.

Once HB-LND with Crossair

The end of a Swearingen Metro. This was one of the aircraft Perimeter Airlines bought for the engines and other components. Shortly after this photo date the cut-up remains were noted in a utility trailer being hauled away. It was built in 1977 and gets its registration from back in 1982 when it was with Air South.

Built in 1970 as D-IMBH for Battenfeld GmbH, with round windows as used on the early airframes. Bought by Provincial in 1993 and by this time it had been converted to a windowless freighter. Sold to Columbia in 2004 and last know of withdrawn at Bogota.

Built in 1979 as YU-ALI for Trans Adria Airways. Here with Perimeter, but still in the livery of Air Montreal, its previous owner, instead of the standard markings which can be seen on the aircraft next to it. Still registered in 2022, believed withdrawn from use due to airframe time expired.

Interestingly the airline was registered as Atlantic Airlines (because Atlantic Airways already existed as an airline in the Faroe Islands), but the titles carried on this aircraft read Atlantic Airways.

This SA227DC started its career as N3028U with Fairchild Aircraft Corp. in Jun'94, it was sold later that year as B-3950 to Hainan Airlines where it flew up to mid-2001. The metro was incorperated with Alta Flight as C-GKAF in Aug'01 and flew with the same registration from Mar'02 onwards with QuikAir Airline Services. Then the black side came along, from 30 Mar'05, Presidential Airways (PA) accepeted the Metro in its inventory. PA was at that time the cover for Blackwater, a US private mil contractor. In nov'10 AAR Airlift (also a cover) became the owner. It was canx from US register 24apr17.

Seen here at its name-sake airport is the ill-fated Metroliner that was destroyed 10 months later in a head-on mid-air with a Piper Navajo.

Perimeter Airlines often bought these for the engines and landing gear, but they put this one into service as C-FSLZ.

Built in 1983 and current with Ameriflight in 2021. These were replaced on the Winnipeg service by the Boeing 727 then the 757 as express package demand grew.
