Profitable Prototype
C-FJJA, serial number 4001, first flew on January 31, 1998 - 22 years ago. Since then, more than 600 have been produced at the Downsview Airport plant in Toronto, Ontario.
The prototype is seen here wearing the livery that it was given after Bombardier changed the DHC-8-400's brand name from "Dash 8 Series 400" to "Q400".
The registration was a nod to Jackson "Jock" Aitken, who had been a DHC flight test engineer for 34 years and had passed away seven months prior to this aircraft's first flight.
