First flown in March 1975, the de Havilland Canada Dash 7 is a 50-passenger airliner optimised for short take-off and landings (STOL) as well as operating from unpaved strips. As with the manufacturer's earlier products, the four-engined type was built at the company’s Downsview, Toronto site and shares the same rugged bush plane underpinning as its Beaver, Otter, Caribou and Buffalo stablemates.
