US Army Otter 58-1710 was delivered April 29, 1959. Deployed in Vietnam, the aircraft was struck off strength in 1969. It was registered CF-QRI in 1972 to fly out of Campbell River, BC with Trans Mountain Air Services. Re-named Gulf Air Aviation in 1976, the aircraft is pictured after taken over for Air BC. Registered to Harbour Air in April 1985, the floatplane was written off on May 8, 1991. When the pilot attempted to reverse course in a valley during marginal VFR conditions, the aircraft settled into trees. All survived, but the aircraft remains are still stored at the time of uploading. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
