A 1968 Twin Otter that AirWest acquired from Mexico (XA-BOA) in 1975. Rebuilt after arriving via truck, it was sold by the airline (now re-named Air BC) in 1983. Many leases as N201RH followed until 2000. Operated by Chicagoland Skydiving, the aircraft crashed in poor weather during a ferry flight for maintenance on July 31 while diverting to Raleigh-Durham, NC.
