Fitted with skis for flightseeing trips from Talkeetna to Denali. Damaged in an accident the previous year, in June 2002. After an uneventful landing on the Tokositna Glacier, 30 miles to the northwest, and while repositioning up the glacier to disembark passengers, the tail wheel caught in a hole in hard-packed snow and the left elevator dug in. Repaired and recovered. Later more substantially damaged in July 2014 when fitted with a bulk fuel tank to supply remote communities. Overran a wet and muddy short grass strip while departing, the pilot unknowingly still carrying the full load of fuel
