Viking Air rebuilt this Turbo Beaver for the RCMP in 2006. It went to their Prince George base and in Sept 2008 it made a wheels down landing on Level Lake near Dease Lake where it flipped over on its back. All 3 occupants escaped but the Beaver was written off. It was salvaged by North Cariboo Air of Fort St John and rebuilt in 2009. It was eventually sold to Escape Air of Vancouver in 2016. The retro RCMP paint scheme remains on this very nice Beaver. This photo is copyright © John Olafson, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
