Photo Comment

This series 100 Twin Otter was delivered to Fecteau Transport on March 18, 1968 and operated on behalf of Quebecair. The aircraft was registered to Quebecair in 1969 and was in their fleet until sold to Amoco Canada Petroleum in February 1971. Bought by Kenn Borek Air in 1992, it was damaged on March 6, 1993. While setting up a fuel cache north west of Iqualuit, NU, the pilot assessed the original landing area unsuitable and took off to find another spot. The nose gear struck an ice ridge and the aircraft ground looped. Deleted from register May 3,1993.
