First use of the registration on a Viking Turbine Otter. The customer was Maldivian Airways, but the deal fell through so it was converted to Vazar Turbine Otter for Sri Lankan Air Taxi instead. Eventually it found its way to Harbour Airways of Vancouver where it still flies in 2022 as C-FJHA. [Photo by David Manchip.]

After spending several years in the jungles of Nicaragua after an accident, the remains of this Otter were recovered and sold as scrap. It was, however, rebuilt in Seattle in 1982 and registered N8510T. Registered to Viking Air as C-GTIL in 2007, the aircraft was converted to turbine power. Viking had purchased the rights to the Cox turbine design and finished the engineering to certify the conversion. The aircraft re-assumed the registration N8510T in 2013.

This is the Viking Air turbine conversion. It later became registered as C-GVTO (Vikiing Turbo Otter). It is no longer listed on the Canadian registry, so perhaps it has been sold. It had been for sale/lease for many years.

The second and last Viking Turbo Otter was originally C-FDNK, but here re-registered and assuming the marks worn by the first conversion back in 2002. In 2019 it was restored to its old post US Army ferry registration N80945.
