This fairly new Cessna 152 crashed (without serious injuries) during a training flight on August 6, 1989 when it was flown into what was thought to be an accessable valley, but the aircraft did not have the performance to avoid flying into the terrain.

This 1963 Caribou was originally with the Kuwait Air Force. Brought back to Canada in 1977, it's pictured with Kelowna Flightcraft, operating the freighter 1980 - 84. Air North and Kenn Borek Air later flew the aircraft before Newcal Aviation bought it in 1992, stored at Gimli, MB and slated for turbine conversion. Crash of the prototype turbine conversion in August 1992 saw it go to Air Tindi in 1993 before sold to the USA as N112CH in 1997. Based at New Smyrna Beach, FL with Vintage Props and Jets, the aircraft was damaged by high winds in 2001. It became derelict and was later broken up.

Previously N291EX, N16DA and N25DA before coming to Canada in May 1990, Resource Air operated this Islander from July 1990 - Jun 1994. The aircraft went to Air Marshall Islands as V7-0009 in 2000, then in 2003, to Unity Airlines registered YJ-009 in Vanuatu. On July 28, 2018 an ATR-42 making an emergency landing at Port Vila-Bauerfield Airport lost control and departed the runway colliding with the Islander which was parked. The aircraft was destroyed and the crew and passengers of the ART-42 evacuated their aircraft without injuries.

Built for the US Army as 53-7915 and sold to the civil market in 1974. I was a little taken aback when I saw C-GAEE here on the ramp in Whitehorse until I found out it was done up for a part in the movie "Never Cry Wolf".

Built in 1952, this Beaver was originally with the Fuerza Aérea de Chile with serial FAC 912. Withdrawn in 1969, the aircraft made it's way to Canada in 1970 as CF-CQP. Resource Air owned it March 1991 - December 1995. It is current on the Canadian register with a private owner at the time of uploading.

This B Model Huey was registered to Air America September 28, 1965 as N8415F for use in Vietnam. It was evacuated to the USS Midway April 29, 1975 during the fall of Saigon and off-loaded at Guam for transport back to the USA. Trans North bought the helicopter in 1980 from Greenlandair where it had been registered OY-HBU. It was exported back to the USA in 1985. Imported into Canada in 1988, the helicopter has been with Kestrel since 2013.

Era Helicopters bought Convair 580s in 1980 for oil support work in Akaska. This aircraft came in 1981 and it operated as Jet Alaska in conjunction with Alaska Airlines. It was sold to Kelowna Flightcraft in 2003 (C-FKFB) and on to Conair in 2004 for air tanker conversion.

Previously N67093, this 1974 Alouette III would later fly in Switzerland as HB-XTX before going to the USA again as N316TX.

This Cessna was with Yukon Airways from 1974 - 1992.

Formerly N83108, this Jetranger has been in Canada since 1983 and with Capital since 1999.

In 1977 the Yukon Flying Club restored CF-CPY and installed it on a pivoting mast and it always points into the wind.

This 1970 Islander worked in the USA and Puerto Rico until 1978 when Air North bought it. After an accident in 1986, the aircraft was sold to Rocky Mountain Aircraft for parts and the registration cancelled.
