Island Air buys new aircraft?

[be76pilot]

Hey all, just wondering if anyone heard the number and type of aircraft that Island Air purchased recently? Saw this headline on Airliners.net a couple days ago, thanks.

Could be wrong but I believe the number was 5 additional Dash-8s to be online by the end of september. I think that makes for a total of 10. I'm sure Hugh Jordan is probably around here somewhere and knows for sure...
