DONATE TO SAVE AN F28: ➡️ gofund.me/d0af17a3 ⬅️

In the middle of the Canadian Prairies at Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker Airport are a dozen or so Fokker F-28s, in the livery of Canadian Regional Airlines.

But why exactly are these old planes sitting in Saskatoon, in the livery of an airline that hasn't existed for almost 20 years?
