Previously registered N400FF / N49H in the USA, this Merlin IIIB came to Canada in August 2013. Registered to a numbered company operating as SkyCare Air Ambulance providing air ambulance services to the Province of Ontario as well as private charters. C-GFPX was arriving at Arnprior/South Renfrew Municipal airport on May 26, 2017 when it touched down short of the runway. The nose wheel collapsed and the aircraft slid 2,000 down the runway. Two Pilots and a paramedic were uninjured, but the aircraft remained at the airport with the engines removed and the registration was cancelled in 2019.
