Former Royal Canadian Air Force Canso 9757, CF-SAT was registered to Winnipeg based airline Transair circa 1956. Pictured with Car-Air Services, it was one of two aircraft used mainly for charters to remote fishing destinations. The aircraft was damaged near Maui, HI on April 14, 1986 when it hit a submerged reef during a water landing. The airframe was finished off during a rushed recovery attempt when it came apart during lifting while the fuselage was still partially flooded with water.
