This 1947 Republic RC-3 Seebee, C-FDKI was imported to Canada by Leavens Brothers Air Service in 1947. In early August 1986, it was one of 34 aircraft to participate in the Expo 86 "Flight into History" formation flypast over the Expo 86 site in downtown Vancouver. At the time it was owned by A. Ewachniuk and later remained in a black and white "orca" (killer whale) colour scheme. It was cancelled from the Canadian register in August 2000 and became N6115A.
