Photo Comment

This 1968 Twin Otter was initially operated on lease by New York Airways as N559MA. Next leased to Aero Nacionales Del Ecuador S.A. in 1971, it was registered HC-AVN and HC-AXC. Recently sold to Athabaska Airways (via Bannock Aerospace), the aircraft is pictured outside Aircraft Refinishing's hangar about to get new paint. Sold in 1986, it was leased to Isleña Airlines (HR-AKN) 1986 - 90 and Aerolíneas Sosa (HR-ALS) 1990 - 92. Returned to the US lessor, it's flying days were over, providing wings and a major fuselage section to rebuild two other Twin Otters.
