First flew on Wardair on June 5th 1988 to Canada, could this be an ex Wardair 310 as they were brand new in 1988…
My research shows that after Canadian took Wardair’s fleet, Canadian sold three A310s to the Canadian Government, and two went to Thai Airways. The aircraft pictured here just may be one of them.
