First flying in 1962 as CF-OSP, this Beaver was with West Coast Air Services from 1970 - 81 when the airline merged into Air BC. Sold to Harbour Air in 1984, the aircraft was operated by Inland Air Charters in 2013 before returning to Harbour Air in January 2019.

Former West Coast Air Services Beaver with new Air BC titles. The Jim Pattison Group amalgamated ten local float operators in 1980 to form Air BC. C-FOSP is current with Harbour Air at the time of uploading, upgraded with an extended aft cabin and larger windows replacing the classic Beaver porthole.

DHC-2 Beaver CF-OSP has been flying on the west coast of British Columbia since at least 1970 when it was first registered to West Coast Air Services Ltd. (WCAS) at CYVR. In the early years it primarily flew charters to in support of the coastal logging industry and coastal communities. WCAS repainted C-FOSP in this attractive colour scheme between June 1975 and July 1976. In was photographed at the West Coast Air dock in Vancouver Harbour shortly before WCAS was merged into AirBC. It rejoined the Harbour Air fleet in January 2019 after six years with Inland Air Charter in Prince Rupert, BC.
