ENA Gets A New Plane






 On April 24th of 2012, Ecole Nationale d'Aérotechnique, a campus for aviation school of Collège Édouard Montpetit, acquired another Challenger jet built by Canadair, this time being C-FBEI which was set up as a private jet unlike C-FURG which arrived in 2010 from the Government of Quebec`s medivac division. Here are the photographs of the aircraft from that day, with the students, teachers, school staff and even a curious Heli-Inter helicopter in joy and wonder on the arrival of this aircraft, it was a day of excitement. Just before landing, the aircraft did a fly by.

Last Flight Of Pratt And Whitney Canada's Boeing 720B C-FETB on May 9, 2012

 On May 9, 2012 PW&C's Boeing 720B, the company's flying test bed for it's engines in flight, left Saint Hubert airport for the last time, with it's destination to the Air Museum at Trenton CFB in Ontario. The aircraft, a Boeing 720B, which is an aircraft very similar to the classic Boeing 707-100 series with the "B" designation for turbofan powered, started it's career with American Airlines before finding it's way to Canada after a stint with MEA of Lebanon. Here, the pilots are doing a fly-by of the aircraft in front of students of ENA, a school known for it's Aircraft Maintenance, Construction and Avionics' courses. This is the last day it flew before signing off and saying good-bye. Included in the pictures are Pascan's Jetstreams and a Canadian Forces Bell Griffon.
