In service with the Royal Canadian Air Force (22110) January 1953 - September 1967 when withdrawn and stored. Sold surplus to Aircraft International Associates in 1971 as N15509, the aircraft added a Steward-Davis Jet-Pak conversion. With Hawkins and Powers 1975 - 76, it's pictured with T & G Aviation still in basic RCAF colors. Acquired by T & G in 1976, an accident on April 21, 1986 ended it's flying days. Taking off with freight for Fairbanks from Tobin Creek Airstrip in Alaska, the aircraft lost directional control on a snow covered runway and struck a snowbank.

Built in late 1984 as version B2-H2, testflown as HB-FIO and delivered new to Mount Cook Airline in early 1985. Upgraded to version B2-H4 in 1987. Transferred to Tourism Holdings Ltd in July of 1998, and then to Aoraki Mount Cook Ski Planes in early 2003. Still current at the time of upload, along with sisterships ZK-MCN (c/n 824) and ZK-MCK (c/n 809), the latter now with Skydive Franz Josef Ltd based at Franz Josef Glacier.
