US Army 53-2830 1954 - 73, this Beaver spent the next eight years with State Center Community College in Fresno, CA, registered N90525. Brought back to Canada in 1981 as C-GFIQ, it flew for several small air services in Ontario and Manitoba. Acquired by Elk Island Air in 2014, the aircraft flies out of God's Lake, MB during the fishing season for Elk Island Lodge. Pictured in Slekirk to ride out the winter until the 2024 fishing season. Has Elk Island Air titles on the door and the lodge badge on the fuselage.
