Photo Comment

Powell Air flew single engine aircraft and a couple of Piper Navajos when they were awarded a scheduled route between Powell River and Vancouver BC. They bought this Convair from Kelowna Flightcraft in 1981. The aircraft would leave their fleet in 1985 and go to the USA in 1987 as N204RA . Powell Air would merge with Air BC's Port Hardy operations in 1987 to form Pacific Coastal Airlines.
