After making a successful forced landing due to an engine failure, C-FOEM was dropped during recovery by helicopter. It was rebuilt as N4603U.

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.

A 1968 Twin Otter that AirWest acquired from Mexico (XA-BOA) in 1975. Rebuilt after arriving via truck, it was sold by the airline (now re-named Air BC) in 1983. Many leases as N201RH followed until 2000. Operated by Chicagoland Skydiving, the aircraft crashed in poor weather during a ferry flight for maintenance on July 31 while diverting to Raleigh-Durham, NC.

Delivered to the Province of Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests December 1, 1967, this Turbo Beaver was with Air West / Air BC from 1979 - 1981. Sold to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, it was with the department from 1981 - 1993. The aircraft is current with Northern Adventures Ltd in Sioux Lookout , ON at the time of uploading.

Delivered to the Province of Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests in 1949, this Beaver had only a handful of other operators (Air West, Powell Air and Tofino Air) before the registrstion was cancelled in May 1995. The current status is unknown.

It's a constant battle with corrosion when flying in a salt water environment. Air West bought this 1968 Twin Otter in December 1971 when Executive Airlines, the original owner, sought bankruptcy protection.

Air West's C-FOCJ emerged from a 1979 accident rebuild in this new color scheme. Shortly after this photo was taken, the airline completed the purchase of several small coastal airlines and merged them all with Air West to form Air BC with this color scheme. This Beaver is currently with Harbour Air, now registered C-FFHA, at the time of uploading.

First with Province of Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests from 1949 to 1966, this early Beaver then went to the British Colombia's west coast, where is is still current as C-FFHA.

New colors for AirWest's Twin Otter and hangar. The airline would change its name to Air BC as it merged several smaller coastal British Colombia airlines with the same color scheme but new titles (for the Hangar, too). This Twin Otter would be written off during a hard landing at Tau, Manua Island, American Samoa on June 17, 1988 with Samoa Air.
