Ouch...

I was going to say that it's not good when they tarp the cockpit but then I noticed it was a tent.

oh damn... pretty sure i've seen that exact aircraft before.

they operate out of YUL iirc... Nolinor has a 737-200 that they charter out too.

any word on what happened?

Guess is it jumped the chocks. It is the same plane that always comes into BFI. They are swapping to the 732 for now and the flights come into BFI from YYC.

I agree Jolly, just hoping that they honestly do recover her and don't scrap her. I love my Convair 580 :(
