Photo Comment

Sea-Air-Pac Ltd. (logo and titles on rear fuselage) was founded in the early 1970s to transport fresh seafood (e.g. herring roe) from fishing boats on the BC coast to Tofino and on to customers in Japan. Norseman IV CF-PAA was joined by Norseman VI, CF-SAP, from Washington State but the business soon failed. CF-SAP was flown to Fort Langley Airport where it sat derelict for many years in the 1970s & 1980s. Later to Nunasi-Central Airlines, Nueltin Lake Air Service, Lynn Lake Lodge & Kississing Lake Lodge. Cancelled in May 2014. Built in 1943 for USAAF as 43-5240 then to N74681. Had four US owners before return to Canada.
