De Havilland Canada kept this 1962 Otter as a demonstrator, initially wearing a yellow and blue color scheme on amphibious floats. A test aircraft and company taxi after DHC-3 production ended, the aircraft was sold to Austin Airways in 1978. It flew with Ignace Airways from December 1980 until it crashed on take off at McKenzie Lake, ON on October 10, 1987. Slowly rebuilt at Kuby's Aircraft at Kenora, it was registered to Slate Falls Airways in 1992. Converted to turbine power over the winter of 2004 / 2005, it's still current with Slate Falls Airways at the time of uploading.
