This is first of 16 new fixed-wing search and rescue which were ordered by the Harper Conservatives in 2011-2015 and selected by the Trudeau Liberals in 2016. They are being built by Airbus in Spain and delivery to Canada will begin in late 2019.
They will try to squeeze some election brownie points out of this.
