Photo Comment

Damaged in a forced landing after the engine failed in September 1971, C-FUJM was tied up in court proceedings on who was responsible for repair of the aircraft for five years. Rebuilt in 1976 and painted in this new color scheme, the Otter was ferried to Vancouver for lease to Tyee Airways, but that lease fell through. It was stored until sold to West Coast Air in January 1977. Later painted in West Coast's full colors (and after that Air BC and Trans-Provincial Airways).
