JD Aero are doing the pre delivery checks in YAM.
Muskoka Aircraft Refinishing are doing the repaints in YQA.

Thanks for that information, Tony.

Does YEB (Bar River, Ontario) play a part in the preparation of the Dash 8 400s for delivery?

[Tony JC]

Possibly just an overflow facility for the above.

VH-84F/4460 was added to the VH-Reg on 28/04/25

Read on another site:

6 fuel cells, not bladders, installed in the cabin. An additional 6K lbs of JetA.
