TURN ON WORD WRAP

Welcome to my Air Canada Connector series. This is my version of Air Nova's (QK) Dash-8-311. Now I know some people are saying an Air Nova -300 no. But yes and with saying that I'd like to thank Colby for bring this a/c to my attention and for providing me with the pic to paint this (it should be noted that I have only seen the starboard side of 324 so I am just guessing on the port side) Fin 324 (S/N 240) started life with Time Air and then onto Canadian Regional which is where the a/c is still registered to. So I am assuming the a/c is on wet lease to Air Nova (note the Canadian flag by the registration). 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. For further information on QK's Dash-8's please see the Air Canada's website (www.aircanada.ca) or Air Nova's webiste (www.airnova.ca). Happy landings.
