Air North operated five DC-3s in the early years. This is the only one to have a serious accident. Flying back on August 19, 1995 after a two year lease to Waglisla Airlines in Vancouver, the right engine had to be shut down due to an overspeed propeller after take-off. Returning to Vancouver, the aircraft struck the bank of the Fraser River turning to the runway and was written off.
