According to the ACAM Feb 2011 newsletter FK466 is on loan to Trenton for 20 years with an option to return to ACAM. Lockheed 18 Learstar CF-CEC was donated to the project.

THAT makes more sense. I knew Reynolds had a Learstar derelict in their 'back forty'. The outer wing attachment fittings threw me. Too bad about it though because it looked relatively intact and as far as I knew the damage done to it was caused by a snowplow that ran into it's tail at the Red Deer airport.
