Taku Air's Beaver played the part in the 1983 movie "Never Cry Wolf". When the filming of its part in the Yukon finished in March 1981, the aircraft was put back into pristine condition. Pictured after roll out in new paint, an accident on September 27, 1986 saw a hard landing on glassy water at Dease Lake cause the floatplane to flip over and sink. Rebuilt in 1995, it was sold as N45LA to Loken Aviation. Unfortunately on July 19, 1996 it crashed into rising terrain at Elfin Cove, Alaska. The remains were sold in 2009 and remain stored (somewhere), the registration expiring in 2013. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
