Tied up, not at Rusty Myers' main base itself but at a landing stage a mile or so closer to Fort Frances, beside Highway 11 near the mouth of the narrows leading to International Falls. The lakeside in the background is on the other side of the Canada / USA border and part of the town of Ranier, Minnesota. Delivered new to Rusty Myers in 2001.

Moored at its Rusty Myers base on Rainy Lake, south of Highway 11. Delivered new to Rusty Myers in 2001.

Originally US Army 58-1692, this Otter worked in Alaska as N90575 with Frontier Flying Service 1975 until an accident in 1979. Rebuilt, it emerged as C-GMDG in 1980 for Air Park Aviation to support mining, exploration and (during summer months) fly-in sports fishing camps. Acquired by Fort Frances Sportsmen Airways (Northern Wilderness Outfitters) in April 1985, this long serving aircraft had a Vazar turbine conversion in 1997.

On departure the aircraft taxied downwind some distance and turned into wind which was west. We watched with some interest, my chief pilot included, and we all commented that there wasn't enough room. We saw the aircraft leave the water and then settle a couple of times.now getting really close to our dock. It rose for the third time to maybe 50 feet and stalled, dropped a wing and cartwheeled. We ran for the rescue boat and were alongside the wreckage very quick. The two passengers were already in the water so we hauled them into the boat. The pilot was sitting on top of aircraft barely wet.

Although conceived and built in thousands as a land-plane, many of the surviving Beech 18s left in Canada found a niche in the float-plane configuration, owing to its superior speed over other aircraft in the same cost & payload range. This one crashed and burned in 1996 after hitting trees while low flying.
