Perhaps more to the point: does Enterprise Airlines (renamed -afaik- Antarctic Logistics Centre International (ALCI) Aviation) of Oshawa,Ontario still exist?

Status C-GEAJ crashed Antarctica jan.2009?
Basler BT-67 C-GEAJ(26120) crashed in Antarctica on 5th January 2009. Since then there has been little or no information as regards its current disposition.
Was it damaged beyond repair, stripped for spares, or simply abandoned and are there any photographs of the crash site?

Re: Good places to plane spot at YYC?
Can recommend a visit to the air museum
Getting there, from the terminal, you''ll pass an area which has a selection of stored airliners (e.g. Air Literal) and CL66B N4AX.
Enjoy!
