Bearskin Airlines had this Beech 99 in their fleet from December 1988 to October 2007. After Canada, the aircraft moved to a warmer climate and flew with various airlines in the Caribbean. Recently with Flamingo Air as C6-OFM, it suffered a left main landing gear collapse and departed the runway at Black Point Airstrip Exuma in the Bahamas on October 18, 2022. The aircraft was substantially damaged, but thankfully no injuries to the eleven people on board.

A Twin Otter delivered new to NorOntair April 1, 1977. On March 19, 1992 the pilot decided to practice a STOL take-off on an empty leg from Red Lake to Kenora. The aircraft stalled from about 150 feet and crashed heavily on the runway. The wreckage was acquired by Ashe Aircraft Enterprises and was rebuilt by 1997. The aircraft was last with Element Otter LLC [Bridger Aerospace) as N32CV from November 2020 at the time of uploading.

A Twin Otter delivered new to NorOntair April 1, 1977. On March 19, 1992 the pilot decided to practice a STOL take-off on an empty leg from Red Lake to Kenora. The aircraft stalled from about 150 feet and crashed heavily on the runway. The wreckage was acquired by Ashe Aircraft Enterprises and was rebuilt by 1997. The aircraft was last with Element Otter LLC [Bridger Aerospace) as N32CV from November 2020 at the time of uploading.

This is the second of two Beech 99s Austin Airways bought in 1983 for smaller routes in Northern Ontario and Quebec. The airline later added seven others in the acquisition of Torontair assets and second hand aircraft. After Austin merged with Air Ontario, the Beech 99s were gradually withdrawn as smaller routes were dropped. C-GGPP is pictured withdrawn from service and was sold to Cape Smythe Air as N216CS in November 1991. The aircraft has been registered to Alpine Air Express since April 2004.
