US Army 58-1683 flew out of Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks, AK after 1961. The Otter crashed in the Alaska Range mountains in March 1970. Struck off strength, it was rebuilt in Seattle (N3382) and returned to Alaska . Two landing accidents followed in 1972 and 75 where it flipped over and sank when touching down on the water with wheels down. Pictured after another rebuild, the Otter had a turbine conversion in 1997 and in 1999, went to Fiji (DQ-GLL). Damaged in a landing accident in 2009, the airframe was sold to Harbour Air in 2011, who have it stored as C-GHAQ for future rebuilt / parts.
