A real work-horse that looks as if it has been ridden hard and put away wet! Outbound after being loaded up with freight (Photo ID: 535200) and here back-tracking for departure off the roller-coaster runway at CYPL. I straightened this photo on a microwave tower in the background so the slope is not an editing error. The official gradient is 0.81%, but this portion is over three times that. The 748 disappeared over the crest of the hill then came thundering back a few minutes later with the Dart engines howling - very impressive.

Delivered new in 1981 to Air Niger and imported in 1991. Here use is being made of the LFD (large freight door) to load up bulky freight for delivery to some northern airstrip. Exported as SE-LIC in 1998 and wrecked as 5Y-BVQ on 14 November 2014 in South Sudan. (Note this is the second use of C-FKTL on a 748. The first was c/n 1613 which burned on the ground while unloading bulk fuel in 1991.)

Parked on the gravel ramp at Pickle Lake, flying with Kelner Airways. Doors open for interior cooling on what was a hot day. Damaged beyond repair on 6 August 1998 while in Wasaya Airways service. On a scheduled freight flight from Pickle Lake, overran the runway at Kasabonika Airport, Ontario, and came to rest in soft ground in an area of sapling trees, 500 feet north of the runway end markers.

A rare sight at CYWG as these Kelner aircraft normally kept to Northwestern Ontario. It was wrecked on 15 October 1999 when a wing tip struck the surface of Ranger Lake/ON whilst manoeuvring to avoid a flock of birds.

The second of four different Caravans to carry the registration, it was imported in 1990 and sold as N70715 in March 1997 to the State of Alaska.

Built in 1981 for Air Niger as 5U-BAR then imported as above in 1991. In 2004 it went to 748 Air Services as 5Y-YKM and was wrecked during take-off in Sudan on 20 December 2009.

Built in 1969 as D-AFSD then imported by Inter City Airways of Oshawa/ON in 1986 as C-GLTC. Current with Wasaya Airways at Pickle Lake/ON in 2021. In addition to 801 which is the Wasaya fleet number appearing twice, it also has 788 on the tail.
