Carrying the Harbour Air fleet number "312", but still wearing the colours of North Pacific Seaplanes from its time flying from Prince Rupert BC. Approaching for landing over the city of Victoria itself and having had to maintain height according, the Inner Harbour has now been reached, which permits a steep dive over water towards the landing point in the Outer Harbour, with a subsequent water taxi back to the scheduled services seaplane docks which it is now passing. Repainted into standard Harbour Air colours the following year.

The Whistler Air division of Harbour Air provides services to Whistler, BC and sightseeing over the Coastal Mountains, Garibaldi Provincial Park and Pemberton Ice Cap. First delivered to the US Army as U-1A 59-2224 in 1960, it was badly damaged on take off in Vietnam in 1969. In 1973 the wreck was sold for a mere $272, being rebuilt and sold to Kodiak Western Airlines. In 1986 it met with another serious accident while operated by Bering Air in Alaska. Rebuild and turbine conversion didn't happen till 1999, when it joined Whistler. Winter 2002/03 even saw a period of operations in Antarctica.

Enjoyed a great sightseeing ride on this Otter the day before the photo. It was first delivered to the RCAF in 1960 as 9402 and was eventually turbine-modified at Harbour Air's Vancouver airport facility over winter 2002/03, at which time their standard panoramic window conversion was also carried out. Between the yellow-trimmed Harbour Air scheme applied at that time and the current blue/yellow livery, it operated for a period in special Royal Roads University colours.

Enjoyed a great sightseeing ride on this Otter the day before the photo. It was first delivered to the RCAF in 1960 as 9402 and was eventually turbine-modified at Harbour Air's Vancouver airport facility over winter 2002/03, at which time their standard panoramic window conversion was also carried out. Between the yellow-trimmed Harbour Air scheme applied at that time and the current blue/yellow livery, it operated for a period in special Royal Roads University colours.

First delivered to the US Army as U-1A 55-3273 in 1956, this Otter saw service in Vietnam before being rebuilt in Canada as CF-BEU. After service with a range of Canadian operators, it became N81FW on floats with Fresh Water Adventures in 2005 before acquisition by Harbour Air in 2006. That winter they converted it to Vazar DHC-3T standards at Vancouver airport and it joined their growing fleet in 2007 as C-FHAD, initially in the then-current yellow colours but without titles, which weren't added till 2010.

Resplendent in special national colours, this is the oldest Otter still flying. As the third DHC-3 to come of the line in 1952, it was delivered in December to Arthur Fecteau, a veteran French Canadian bush pilot based in Senneterre, Québec. After eventually passing to Harbour Air, it entered their Vancouver airport facility in 2000 for turbine conversion, and despite its grand old age, with its modern avionics and power-plant it is one of the best equipped Otters still flying.

Departing into Regina Bay from Nestor Falls Fly-in Outposts' dock where two other members of the fleet, Turbine Otter C-FODK and Beaver C-FMDB, remain moored in the background. Delivered new to the Indian Air Force in 1958, with whom it remained until 1991, seeing active military support service in some of the cross-border conflicts which arose during that period. Received a Texas Turbine conversion over the winter of 2005 at Recon Air, Geraldton.

A former Royal Canadian Air Force machine, 9420. Seen here at Sliver Falls Airfield, Manitoba, for some maintenance work. Bought by Ookpik Aviation in 2012 and by 2013 had been given a major avionics upgrade and a Texas Turbine conversion. Ookpik Aviation is based in the hamlet of Baker Lake, Nunavut, and the aircraft is equipped to fly from Arctic tundra and to operate in the area's difficult climatic conditions.

Docked at the base of its owner, Blue Water Aviation Services, of Silver Falls, Manitoba, and reflecting the sparkle of the flood waters of the Winnipeg River on its lower fuselage. This is its third incarnation with a different power plant. Started life in 1960, Pratt and Whitney piston-powered, as UB-656 with the Union of Burma Air Force. Had a PZL piston engine installed in 2002 and entered service with Blue Water Aviation, who had it further converted to Walter turbine power over the winter of 2009 /2010.
