@JustinDerrick@mstdn.ca @myke I pass thru or by Pearson enough that it’s my running joke that I can check on it nearly weekly… (I’m out of the NCR, not GHTA)
That photo is from this morning; I was driving last week so I couldn’t snap a pic.

@mWare@ottawa.place @myke Ah, the last article. Found this morning was from February, saying that the government was still working on seizing it from its Russian owners. But I also recall that there was a crew (from Ukraine?) that had arrived to resume maintenance so that it remained airworthy in anticipation of the transfer of ownership to Canada (and then gifted to Ukraine). I’ll try and find more recent info and share what I find.
