Don't know who has the ownership rights now but it was ferried from CYPE to CYEG by private owner who did not want to put up funds to make it airworthy. I am guessing it is the same airframe.

Its located just East of the McDonalds in Nisku and on the South side of the road. If memory serves me correct I think it has Western Arctic Air on the side of it.

If that is the one Peace Air tried to "manage", it has more squawks than a 300lb hooker.
