Looks good so far, but two immediate issues jump out at me: a minor one is that the aircraft S/N is mentioned in the lede, but never in the article and is thus unreferenced, while a bigger one is the "Canadian service" section has unreferenced parts; the second half of the second paragraph and the entire fourth paragraph lack inline references. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 03:06, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@The Bushranger: Fixed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 20:47, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Size and date OK, well referenced, hook fact referenced, Earwig and spot checks indicate CPR/copyvio not a concern, QPQ done, I believe this is good to go. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 21:54, 19 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
