Damaged in a forced landing after the engine failed in September 1971, C-FUJM was tied up in court proceedings on who was responsible for repair of the aircraft for five years. Rebuilt in 1976 and painted in this new color scheme, the Otter was ferried to Vancouver for lease to Tyee Airways, but that lease fell through. It was stored until sold to West Coast Air in January 1977. Later painted in West Coast's full colors (and after that Air BC and Trans-Provincial Airways).

Delivered to West Coast Air Services on June 10, 1964, CF-WCA met a temporary end when it flipped during a water landing at Owen Bay, BC on July 16, 1974. No serious injuries occurred, but he aircraft remains were salvaged and stored for several years. Pictured finally undergoing a slow rebuilt at Pacific Aircraft Salvage, it would fly again in 1984. Sold as N77BA in June 1984, the bush plane is still current with Beluga Air in Homer, Alaska at the time of uploading. This is a different aircraft than the former US Army Beaver cn 1285 that was registered C-FWCA 1999 - 2016.

After rolled out in early 1969, several sales of this Twin Otter to the USA fell through and the aircraft was delivered to Aeronaves de Mayab as XA-BOL December 19, 1969. West Coast Air Services bought it in September 1979, but it never entered service. It was sold to Contact Airways in April 1980 and photographed just before the titles were painted out and the tail logo became a red circle. While flying on floats with Maldivian Air Taxi as 8Q-MAG, the aircraft was written off (with no injuries) when it struck the water after a photo shoot at the Halaveli Island Resort, Maldives June 2, 2009.
