Since 1995

cf tgi transairThe first Vickers Viscount type 724 received by Trans-Canada Air Lines on December 8, 1954 was registered as CF-TGI fin 601 c/n 40.

It was leased to Transair in March 1963 and returned to Air Canada in January 1971 and stored at Winnipeg until 1973 when it was sold to the first of several U.S. owners.

After several years stored in Tucson, Arizona It was donated to the Pima Air & Space Museum in Tucson in 1991 where it remains today.

The Canadian aviation fraternity should get together and bring this famous aircraft back home, where it belongs in TCA livery as CF-TGI.

Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) the PAM closed to the general public in March 2020 but has now reopened.
