With the fishing season is over for lodges in Northern Ontario and as lakes are soon to freeze over, floatplanes are coming out of the water for winter storage. One of Kabeelo Airways' Turbo Beavers is pictured recently arrived in Fort Francis.

AirWest took delivery of three yellow-painted Turbo Beavers on wheels in late 1977 that had recently been retired by Province of Ontario, Ministry of Natural Resources (C-FOEM, C-FOEX and C-FOEY). The aircraft were outfitted with floats and repainted in AirWest colours in 1978 for use on charter and scheduled flights from Vancouver Airport and Harbour. C-FOEX was photographed at the AirWest seaplane dock in the Coal Harbour area of Vancouver Harbour in March 1979. C-FOEX was delivered new in 1967. In 2022, it was flying with Kabeelo Airways Ltd., Ear Falls, ON.
