This 1957 Beaver flew for Pacific Western Airlines in the 60s . After service with West Coast Air Services and Northern Mountain Airlines, the floatplane was with Northern Thunderbird Air when it was salvaged after an accident in August 1976. Pictured getting final work after a rebuild, it would get modifications with Advanced Wing Technologies' wings and an aft cabin extension in 2001. After a landing accident in May 2016, Avionnerie Valdor of Val d'Or, QC (owner of the Advanced Wings STCs since 2004) bought the aircraft for re-build. It was put back on the Canadian Registry in July 2019.

On the Columbia River, adjacent to Golden airport.

Basking in golden sunshine. This is one of a few Beavers with the Advanced Wing Technologies wing.

This Beaver has received some maintenance on shore and is now about to be launched into the lake, using a mobile crane. Simple and easy when you have the right equipment on hand.

Wearing the titles of the company it has been leased to in Prince Rupert.

This Beaver has a re-designed wing, more vertical tail surface area and the engine has been moved forward.

Freshly repainted and wearing a crudely applied registration. Possible sale pending
