Delivered to Executive Airlines in March 1968, this Twin Otter soon went to AirWest as CF-AWC in 1971. Re-named Air BC at the end of 1980, the aircraft flew commuter services for CP Air (1983 - 87) and Air Canada (1987 - 89) when it was sold to North Cariboo Air in March 1989. First leased to Liard Air (May and June 2001), the airline bought the Twin Otter in December 2001 and new colors featured a view on the tail of Liard Air's Beaver flying over the Northern Rockies Lodge at Muncho Lake BC. Sadly, the aircraft crashed on take-off at Muncho Lakes' gravel strip on July 8, 2007 and burned.
