TURN ON WORD WRAP

Welcome to my Air Canada Connector series. This is my version of Air Ontario's (GX) Dash-8-301 (officially DHC-8-301) in their lastest paint scheme (this is the second scheme these a/c have worn since becoming an Air Canada Connector). Fin 301 (S/N 131) was delivered to GX on June 14, 1989 and entered service on Oct. 01, 1989. 301 has remained with GX for it's entire life and currently carries the name City of Sudbury. Before I get too much further I'd like to thank Jens Borgstroem for the flight dynamics, Christoph Klose for the night light effects & photoreal engine nacelles and Barry Blaisdell for his flight model and for giving permission to repaint his Dash-8. I'd also like to thank all the people at Airliners.net where I downloaded the pics to paint these a/c. For further information on GX's Dash-8's please see the Air Canada's website (www.aircanada.ca) or Air Ontario's webiste (www.airontario.ca). Happy landings.
