Production of the Found FBA2-C began in 1962, but was stopped in 1965 to concentrate on the larger Found Centennial 100. After a gap of thirty-five years, a resurrected Found Aircraft Development company began delivering an upgraded FBA2-C2. This early aircraft is still current on the Canadian registry (C-FSOO) at the time of uploading.

This 1963 Beech 18 flew with a construction company and Millardair before it was bought by Hicks & Lawrence, one of Canada's most experienced aerial applicators. With them 1967 - 72, it went to Voyageur Airways for a year before acquired by Bradley Air Services in 1973. On November 30, 1975, a main gear collapsed on landing at Ottawa and the aircraft veered off the runway in to a snow back with major damage. Never repaired, the aircraft's cabin roof from the rivet line beneath windows was installed on Westwind III C-GBLI to increase cabin volume.
