Still carrying the logo of previous operator North Star Air, although registered to MJM Air of Campbell River. Seen here departing past Tyee Spit. Built for the USAF as L-20A 52-6131. Became N1UW of Wisconsin State University in 1972, then N67091 of Gifford Aviation, Anchorage. In 1979, sustained substantial damage in a ground loop at Gold Creek, Alaska. Imported into Canada as C-GMGD in 1981 and completely rebuilt. Served well over a dozen different Canadian operators, including North Star Air of Pickle Lake, Ontario, from 1998 to 1999.
