TURN ON WORD WRAP

Welcome to my Air Canada Connector series. This is my version of AirBC's (ZX) Dash-8-311 (officially DHC-8-311) 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 248) was delivered to ZX in 1991 and has remained with ZX for it's entire life and currently carries the name Quesnel. 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 ZX's Dash-8's please see the Air Canada's website (www.aircanada.ca). Happy landings.
