Delivered to the Province of Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests December 12, 1966, this turbo Beaver first appeared in Vancouver for Air West sometime around 1978. Pictured in the (then) new Air West color scheme, the aircraft would make a successful forced landing in a field after an engine failure later in 1980. Unfortunately during the recovery, it was dropped by the helicopter and written off. It was, however, rebuilt in Seattle to become N4603U in January 1984, and noted as such at Boeing Field in March 1987. It seems to have disappeared from written records after it was cancelled from the register in June 1987.
