  31 July 2001 Received Category C damage. Bleed air leak shortly after takeoff from Bagotville, en route to Toronto, resulted in smoke in cockpit, improper landing gear retraction, and other failures. Aircraft further damaged by arrestor cables during high speed, no flaps landing. Investigation revealed that Flow Temperature Limiting Anti-Ice Modulating Valve recently installed in this aircraft had been removed unserviceable from 188751 two years earlier, and returned to use without repairs being performed, causing the leak.
