It's hard to imagine that a Challenger jet would be a museum piece already.
Tempus fugit.

Remember that the prototype's first flight was Nov 8, 1978. Pretty
close to 30 years ago!

The aircraft at CFB Winnipeg Air Park is Challenger #2, c/n 1002, CAF
144612, f/f 29.2.88, ret 8.4.93.

It was a non-standard CC144, assigned to AETE, and retired early in
lieu of retrofitting.

The Challenger at the NAM at Rockcliffe is c/n 1003; re# 3391, C-GCGT
manufactured 1979.
