The Helio H-370 was the first attempt to add turbine power to the Courier. A standard H-250 was re-engined with an Allison 250-B15G turbine for testing in 1969. It found little performance benefit and increased fuel consumption. Instead pursuing work on the aircraft the company decided to focus on the purpose built H-550 turboprop Helio Stallion. N6309 got it's piston engine back and became the pattern aircraft for the HT-295 tri-gear Super Courier. The nose gear equipped Courier was developed from a request by the Mexican Government and the aircraft was exported to Mexico as XA-SEW in 1973.

US Army Air Force UC-64A Norseman 43-35432 was delivered in June 1944. Registered N13340 when working for the US Forest Service 1949 - 56. With Reeder Flying Service 1956 - 1960 until Parachutes Incorporated modified it for skydiving use. Next major stop for the aircraft was the Lone Star Flight Museum, Galveston, TX circa 1984 before going to Grass River Lodge in Manitoba for re-building and registered CF-BHU in 2001. It sat idle from 2006 until another refurbishing saw it take to the air again in 2020 with Kississing Lake Lodge where it's current at the time of uploading.
