Conair announced to buy 11 of the former FlyBe Dash 8s to replace their old L-188 Electra and Convair 580 air tankers.
The dash 8s will be modified as air tankers by Conair in Canada.
They will be flown over to Canada in the coming weeks.

Do note: MST airport also has a lot of dash 8s stored so I wouldn't expect all 11 to be coming from NRN

Am 30. Dezember war ich noch am Flughafen, um mir die Flybe’s anzuschauen. Ich dachte, diese würden Ende 2024 verschwinden, aber sie sind immer noch da. Weiß jemand warum?
