Ptarmigan Airways acquired this 1973 Twin Otter from Downtown Airlines (N200A) when the US Commuter shut down in 1975. Bradley Air Services (First Air) bought Ptarmigan in 1995 and sold the aircraft to Arctic Sunwest Charters in July 2001. Sadly, it crashed on September 22, 2011 while aborting a landing in gusty winds at Yellowknife Waterdrome. Deemed a write-off, the damaged aircraft went to Rocky Mountain Aircraft at Springbank, AB. Registered C-GAFL to Ashe Aircraft Enterprises in 2018, it was re-built by October 2020. It is to be delivered to Manta Air, Malé. Maldive Islands in 2021.
