Received a Vazar conversion to PT-6 turbine power in 1997. Joined Transwest Air in 2001. Working from Stony Rapids, it was destroyed in a tragic accident, with the loss of its pilot, on 22 August 2013. After a long and difficult day's work in windy conditions, the aircraft struck trees with a wingtip on its last landing at Scott Lake. The pilot nevertheless elected to take off again for Ivanhoe Lake. After an apparently normal takeoff, aircraft crashed into a small unnamed lake, 17 minutes into its flight and 7 miles south of its destination. The aircraft broke up on impact.
