This Cessna 180H was imported new to Canada in 1972 and was operated by in Newfoundland in the early 1980s (and perhaps earlier) until sold by Caribou Leasing Ltd to F B M Holdings Ltd in Terrace, British Columbia in May 1986. It was photographed wearing A Frame Logging Ltd. titles at the Seal Cove seaplane base in Prince Rupert, BC in January 26, 1987. It was last operated in Canada by Trans-Provincial in Prince Rupert before being cancelled from the CCAR in August 1994. Seal Cove was the town's main air gateway until the Digby Island airport opened in 1959.

Tyee Airways Ltd. acquired this Cessna 180 seaplane CF-UFD, new from Vancouver Cessna dealer Staron Flights Ltd. on March 17, 1966 and operated it through November 1977 when it was sold to K.D. Brodacki in Edmonton, Alberta. It was photographed at the Tyee dock at the Bayshore Inn at the foot of Cardero Street in Vancouver. Tyee Airways was owned by Al Campbell and based in Porpoise Bay in Sechelt, BC, which is about 50 km northwest of Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast. Tyee utilized the public seaplane dock in Sechelt and had a maintenance base on East Sechelt Road. Exported to USA, April 1982.

Built in 1969 and here visiting from its Langley (CYNJ) base.

Air Plains Services markets their 300 horsepower Cessna upgrade as the 180XP. The aircraft carries "Inpulse" advertising highlighting another FAA Approved Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) that enables the aircraft to utilize unleaded automotive fuel.

Built in 1966 as N9909V, it was exported the same year to Canada where it became CF-VBG. Somewhere between 1974 and 1984 it was reregistered as C-FVBG. In Nov-1993 this was cancelled when it became N1966K. In Apr-2018 this was cancelled on export back to Canada where it was registered C-GRMK in May-2018. As such it is still current in 2022.
