Photo Comment

Ran off the end of the runway at Red Lake, Ontario in 2000, due to engine trouble on take off, causing damage to the belly. It was then purchased by Buffalo Airways, repaired to ferry condition and flown to Yellowknife. Restored to flying condition in 2005/2006, work seen in progress here. The aircraft was written off after a forced landing at Norman Wells Airport on September 25, 2015.
