Beautifully restored Beaver in US Navy colors. The aircraft was actually delivered to the US Air Force as 52-6138 on July 24, 1953 (a day short of 69 years ago when photographed). Later with the Alabama Army National Guard before stored in 1972, the aircraft was sold in 1975 as N6138C. Made airworthy it was exported to Canada as C-GWPL for North Cariboo Flying Services. To the USA in1984, it carried registrations of N530SC, N111YA and N530BJ. The aircraft was stored in Washington state for some years before this recent restoration.
