After delivery in June 1959, Pacific Air Lines merged with Bonanza Air Lines and West Coast Airlines in 1968 to form Air West. Howard Hughes stepped in to save the airline in 1969 and changed the name to Hughes Air West. This F-27 went to Canada with Norcanair in 1974 registered C-GCRA. Merged into Time AIr in 1988, the aircraft was sold to Perimeter Airlines in 1989. Northern Dene Airways bought it in November 1991 and revived the Norcanair name. Finally sold to Kelowna Flightcraft in 1994, it was withdrawn again and slowly stripped of parts.
