Fuselage of BAe 146 E2052 at Toronto (Tom Kim)
The fuselage of former Air Wisconsin BAe 146-200 N607AW (msn E2052) will be used to test the air tanker system that will eventually be fitted to E2111 by Minden Air. E2052 had been broken up at Summerside by lessor Tronos in late 2006. The fuselage had then been used in Tronos’ own air tanker project, but that project was eventually abandoned. E2052’s fuselage arrived at Toronto’s Pearson Airport at the end of April.
