Former RCAF Otter (serial 9421 December 1960 - August 1981) is pictured after bought from Crown Assets. The aircraft was sold to Nahanni Air Services in 1983. A sale to Columbia as HK-3049X fell through and the aircraft went to to Quebec in 1984 with St. Louis Aviation initially and sold to Air Saguenay by 1986. On June 30, 2002 the floatplane departed Lac Cojibo, QC with two passengers and a full load of freight on a hot day. Climb performance was not sufficient to clear terrain and the aircraft crashed on a mountain top. All three onboard escaped, but C-GUTQ caught fire and burned.
