Built in 1970, imported in 1993 and here just arrived after sale to Manitoba based Skyward Avn. Prior to that it was operated by Timberline Air of Chilliwack/BC and I met the pilot there who turned out to be an acquaintance. The Beech was used to fly spare parts and personnel to logging sites up in the mountains. He said that the company would use a bulldozer to plow an airstrip in a clear-cut area and he'd land on that. Notice the lengthened nose which was an STC addition. In 2006 it was re-registered as C-FRKB for Kenn Borek Air and C-GBFE for Buffalo Airways in 2016.
