Additional information from Eric Dumigan on Instagram:
Canadair’s CL-44J, a stretched version of Canadair’s CL-44, is the largest aircraft ever produced in Canada. Four of the aircraft were built for Loftleidir Icelandic Airlines for passenger service. The CL-44J featured a 10 ft. fuselage extension in front of the wing and a five foot extension behind the wing which gave an increased passenger capacity from 160 passengers to 188.
