Incidents

 * 19 October 1966: The third prototype Trident 7A VB-TRK (c/n C843), returning to Abbotsford International Airport following a test flight, ran off the runway after a tire burst due to a too-heavy landing. The runway excursion caused the starboard main gear to collapse, damaging the wing beyond economical repair; there were no fatalities, but the aircraft was written off, and was subsequently used for ground crew training at Abbotsford.
