BC Airlines began in 1946 with a single float equipped Luscombe 8. Growing with floatplane and amphibious aircraft, the airline started scheduled service in 1964 and added their first land plane (a DHC-6 Twin Otter) in 1967. The airline bought four used Nord 262s in 1969 that included this former Allegheny Airlines aircraft (N26215) in March. Taken over by Pacific Western Airline in 1970, the Nords left the fleet in 1972 with this aircraft reverting to N26215. After 1989, the aircraft ended it's days with Tempelhof Airways / Transafrik International and was abandoned at São Tomé airport.
