Withdrawn from use in 2011.

The second of the three Turbo Tradewinds converted and was done by the Province of British Columbia using an American Turbine Engine Company kit. Sold to Keewatin Air in 1982, it was later damaged in a hangar fire. Deemed too costly to repair, the airplane was donated to the British Columbia Aviation Museum and returned to Victoria, BC, where it was originally converted.

Two of the three Turbo Tradewind conversions were done by the American Turbine Engine Co (ATE). This particular example however was converted by the Province of British Columbia at Victoria International Airport, using an ATE kit. So it is appropriate that it returned here for preservation. It now awaits its turn for restoration.

Converted to ATE Westwind I in 1966, and seen here as such. It was later converted again, now to Hamilton Westwind III.

Believe it or not, this is a Beech 18. Originally delivered to RCAF in the 1950s, it was subsequently modified to PAC Turbo Tradewind standard by the Province of BC. Later, while in Keewatin Air service, as shown here, it was 'toasted' in a hangar fire and rendered un-certifiable. It now resides in the B.C. Aviation Museum at Victoria (CYYJ).

Damaged in a force landing in 1989. By 1998 being used for spares. Dismantled by 2000.
